Rote Kappelle Likes this wine: 92 points
April 23, 2024 - After the bloodbath of the last Eva, I am delighted to report that this wine is free of funky dogs and nasty things. This is very good Riesling and very good value.
Given the warm and very dry 2022 vintage, it is a surprise to find this wine shows more like a cooler but dry year. Apparently, the vines shut down for significant periods of the summer and harvest came in far later than expected, but in very good condition. Hence the apparent paradox of a warm dry year drinking like a cool one.
The fruit gives lemon sorbet both in terms of flavour and mouth feel. This is a character I find that speaks of Germany. There are lemons and some lime. Tropical fruit is there but more restrained than in say 2016, 2019, 2020. There is real acid zing and this is perhaps not quite so different to Australian Riesling acid and it is the one point I am not so happy with. The best German Riesling years feature this wonderful 'soft', acid that delivers crisp fruit yet avoids sourness or that searing, gum savaging experience one gets in so many Oz Rieslings.
The acid is a small matter in the end. Enjoy this because it is fun, it manages to also be serious and it is lovely, a thing of beauty.2 people found this helpful Comment -
