Weingut Schmitt Freiheit Riesling 2023 Review
In the sun-drenched hills of Germany’s Rheinhessen, Bianka and Daniel Schmitt produce various styles, including Merlot, but this Riesling is truly captivating. It offers a beautiful balance of depth and leanness, featuring aromas of lime oil, freshly squeezed grapefruit, and white pepper. This complexity carries through to the palate, with tropical fruit notes of pineapple and green mango sharpened by bone-dry acidity.
