Kranz 2020 Ranschbach 'Rotliegend' Riesling QbA dry, 75cL, Dry, Lively, Spicy, Juicy, Salty, Stony Mineral NotesBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. This dry Riesling has a wonderful, lively character, with spicy, juicy, salty, stony mineral notes. The wine shows real focus and precision, with a remarkably strong, powerful spine. The fruit is wrapped around a powerful structure, with a direct and precise style. The vineyards in this region are very steep, and the soil is a result of intense volcanic activity in the Rotliegend era, which produced quartz porphyry in the form of lava flows. The red colour of the soil is due to iron compounds formed in this climate. Tamlyn Currin from Jancis Robinson gave this wine 16.5 points.
