Karthauserhof Bruno Riesling Dry 2021

Refreshing, spicy and floral nose of grapefruit, yellow peach, and green apple. Nicely balanced and playful on the palate driven by juicy fruits. With an intense and animating feel in the zesty, herbal and spicy finish.
The 2021 Schiefer Riesling trocken Bruno is an homage to Bruno from Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order whose monastery is the origin of Weingut Karthäuserhof. Mathieu Kaufmann took over the domain in January and canceled all the bottling dates just to keep the wines longer on the full lees, partly until August. The wine opens like a classic Ruwer Riesling with delicate slate and floral aromas. Playful, perfectly round and fruity on the palate, this is a light and filigreed yet quite intense Riesling Kabinett with ripe and elegant acidity and spring-like floral aromas on the aftertaste. A wine for sunny Sundays. Excellent. - 90pts Robert Parker
