Riesling Smaragd Ried Kreuzberg
- White
About Josef Fischer
Though they show notable concentration, Fischer’s wines do not lead with power; rather, they are built around a tight helix of rapier-like acidity and intensely saline minerality, emphasizing kinetic thrust over sheer richness.
Kreuzberg’s inherent austerity yields a Riesling of single-minded minerality. Aromatically, it presents its stoniness in measured, serene fashion, but it sizzles on the palate with white-knuckled intensity—a fascinating contrast which makes for a wine of dynamism and complexity.
