Staffelter Hof Little Bastard 2018 Mosel, Germany
11.5% alcohol. No added sulfites. Slightly cloudy, this is vivid and fresh, with lovely aromatics, and the high-ish levels of dissolved carbon dioxide add to the feeling of freshness. Has citrus and spice with nice precision, and some refreshing grapefruit character. So drinkable and vital. 92/100 (£50 on the list at Bedales)
