Riesling 2006 – 16.5p Jancis Robinson in July 2021
In a half-litre bottle and described as a Beerenauslese. Made in tank and bottled in 2008(!). RS 48 g/l.
Greenish gold colour. Some evolution on the nose. This really does seem to have true Riesling character and a fine level of acidity counterbalancing the sweetness. The producers can be justly proud of this local expression of the variety and the wine’s maturity and longevity.
I could imagine a sommelier who prides themselves on a wide range of wines producing this oddity like a rabbit out of a hat at the end of a meal.
Beerenauslese
sweet
This wine has been made from must created by a very light press of whole bunches of grapes. A noble aroma is a symbiosis of ripe apricots, peaches and candied lime peel. An unexpectedly fresh taste evoking lemon balm and acacia honey. The finish is harmonic, long and mineral. A phenomenal wine with amazing potential.
