Tasting Notes

The 2021 Riesling Trocken Vulkangestein offers a clear and flinty bouquet of ripe and juicy white and yellow-fleshed peaches, apricots and mirabelles intertwined with flinty notes of crushed rocks. Round and lush but still fresh and piquant, this is a generous but elegant, refined and all-in-all coolish Riesling with ripe yet not all-too-ripe stone fruit aromas and crunchy fruit whose juice is perfectly interwoven with the mineral sound of music. 12% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in July 2022.

The smoked-bacon and cool white-peach nose pulls you into this super-stony dry riesling that’s very sleek, yet ripe through and through. Pronounced cardamon note at the stunningly vibrant finish, which doesn’t want to stop! From vineyards that are 30-plus years old. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
