The 2022 Balthasar Ress Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen Riesling Trocken GG is a premium German white wine from the Rheingau region, produced by the historic Balthasar Ress estate. Crafted from Riesling grown in the renowned Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen vineyard, this dry Grosses Gewächs reflects the site's distinctive soils and favourable growing conditions. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe yellow peach, green apple, lemon zest and apricot, complemented by notes of white flowers, fresh herbs and subtle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a concentrated, finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of ripe peach, juicy grapefruit, yellow apple and citrus peel unfold alongside hints of almond and stony minerality. Its generous fruit character is balanced by precise acidity and elegant structure, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering citrus and savoury notes.
