Tasting Notes

Vinous David Schildknecht - 01 May 18
The nose here is surprisingly subdued, offering intimations of citrus and crushed stone. But the wine delivers a veritable mouthful of chalk along with juicy, oregano-laced lime, grapefruit and white peach. Firm in feel but not austerely hard, it finishes with a vivid sense of energy and a piquant peach kernel glow that never turns into outright bitterness or precludes a striking sense of transparency to stony and alkaline nuances.

Germany

Germany is renowned for its diverse, high-quality wines, primarily white varieties like Riesling. Thriving in cool climates and regions like Mosel, Rheingau, and Pfalz, German Rieslings range from dry to sweet, showcasing vibrant acidity and minerality. Top producers include Weingut Egon Müller and Joh. Jos. Prüm in Mosel, Weingut Robert Weil in Rheingau, and Dr. Loosen. Weingut Keller in Rheinhessen is noted for both Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). These producers highlight the excellence and tradition of German winemaking.
