Peter Lauer, Fass 16 Riesling 2018

Gulping this gorgeous, thirst-quenching wine is as refreshing as drinking pure spring water, but with masses of flavour packed in – a heady mix of pears, minerals and citrus. Julia gave it a very respectable 17 last year, praising its 'saliva-inducing freshness and intensity'. It's a super-fresh, glorious wine to end the day with – and at 12.5%, it's also worth stockpiling for summer lunches in the garden (if/when summer ever comes)."
