Description

Organic. Few German estates produce an entry-level Riesling of this depth and structure. It is made entirely from hand-harvested, estate-grown Riesling, cropped at an incredibly low 35 hl/ha to mitigate the younger-vine origins. The source vineyards are all on the sandstone slopes of the Haardt hills, Mussbach, Gimmeldingen and Haardt itself. Cool and linear, with lovely palate tension between the texture and acidity, this wine again lives up to its billing as one of our portfolio’s all-star value wines. It’s pure and fragrant with vibrant stone fruit and citrus pith. We love the hint of savoury spice and iodine on the long, buoyant finish.

“The aromas of yellow apples, pears and white peaches make this sleek dry riesling very attractive. The crispness of the vintage is married to attractive fruit and impressive substance at the long, very harmonious finish.” 91 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
