Weingut A.J. Adam Dhroner Hofberg Riesling Auslese, Mosel, Germany 2021 R. Stuart & Co. in eastern SicilyIt offers a beautifully restrained yet finely aromatic and complex nose of minty herbs, spices, candied pineapple, smoke, lead pencil, pink grapefruit, a hint of apricot, and greengage. The wine proves superbly balanced on the sweet palate, where rich and honeyed yellow fruits and almond cream are wrapped into a blanket of zesty candied fruits. The finish is pure, precise, and gorgeously well delineated.
