Weingut K. Wechsler Benn Riesling Trocken 2020
Katharina Wechsler has a unique approach to winemaking. She grew up in the Rheinhessen with a grape-growing family who she watched stress out year after year trying to grow grapes for the bulk market. And in Germany in order to get the best price for their wines they had to harvest them at certain, higher sugar levels. Which wasn't always possible depending on the weather that year. Katharina decided to take over the family business but she wanted to do it differently and she wanted to produce her own wine. She started her first vintage in 2009 while also attending winemaking school at the same time. She now produces some beautiful high quality and complex wines in the Rheinhessen. Her vineyards are also certified organic as of their 2021 harvest and she began to implement biodynamic practices in 2020.
This 2020 Trocken Riesling is one of her entry level wines, but it's not lacking in flavor or complexity. This dry Riesling is elegant, aromatic and bright with tasting notes of petrol, white flowers, crips apple and tart acidity on the finish.
