"A geological terroir of great rarity that gives this cuvée its unique character—the vines grow in volcanic rhyolite!"

“A very elegant dry Mosel Riesling, of barely medium body, but with very alluring aromas of white peach and wild strawberry. Nice juiciness on the attack and mid-palate. A lingering and very harmonious finish with remarkable delicacy of berries and spices. Ready to drink now or for aging.” (James Suckling 2023)

About the wine:

The 2022 Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Riesling (white capsule) opens with aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry, as well as lovely notes of slate on the nose. On the palate, it is an elegant Riesling, though somewhat drying and phenolic, with a tight tannic structure, yet also intensity and a certain residual sweetness that is not yet fully balanced. Declared alcohol content: 11%. Natural cork. Tasted at the winery in August 2024. 2029–2050

About the wine:

A very elegant dry Moselle Riesling, only moderately full-bodied, but with very alluring aromas of white peach and wild strawberry. Nice juiciness on the attack and mid-palate. A lingering and very harmonious finish with remarkable delicacy of berries and spices. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.
