Willm Kirchberg de Barr Riesling 2016 Review
This wine is like licking wet rock, then sipping pear juice from concentrate. It’s puckering and tart, with a sweet smack in the face bordering on saccharine. It’s cheap and works as a last minute pick up for a spicy food pairing, as it will calm the heat.
