Critic tasting note: "The nose is fruity , fresh , aromatic , elegant and fine. It reveals notes of fresh lemon zests and fresh apple associated with slight touches of yellow fruits, beeswax , woody touches as well as a slight hi nt of minerality and slight hi n t s of spices . The palate is fruity , fresh , nicely juicy and offers elegance , a beautiful definition , a beautiful dynamism , a beautiful acid frame as well as a beautiful suavity . In the mouth this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon , quince and green lemon zests associated with touches of apple , quince / juicy mirabelle as well as a subtle / very discreet hint of peach , beeswax / woody hint , spices and an imperceptible hint of vanilla (in the background). Good length ." - 93/100, VertdeVin

Handpicked as late as possible from the two grand cru sites of Geisberg and Osterberg in order to achieve maximum ripeness, which in turn, gives optimum depth of flavor and complexity.

- Winemaking
-
The grapes are pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The wine is not oak-aged, and is vinified to complete dryness with no residual sugar. Bottling is done early to preserve freshness.

- Ageing
-
The wine rests in bottle in the cellar for several years before reaching the marketplace.
- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Bright, medium-gold with aromas of sweet nectarine, apricot, pineapple and candied peaches. Full-bodied with intensity, depth and beautiful mineral flavor. Rich, ripe acidity on the palate. Extraordinary balance between fruit and acidity with superb length. A wine of intense minerality and powerful acidity. The ideal wine to pair with fusion cuisines.

Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Ein Hauch von Limettenzesten, Duft von Orangenblüten, feine rauchige Mineralität, etwas Zitronen-Pez. Mittlere Komplexität, klar wie ein Gebirgsbach, finessenreich strukturiert, energetischer Stil, feine Extraktsüße im Finale.

Tasted: Jan 2016
A perfumed note of citrus peel and soft pine create a bracing nose that nonetheless suggests ripeness. The body is lithe and light, with a backdrop of stone and subtle nuttiness. With a little more air, the characteristic notes of mature Riesling appear: some lifted chamomile and candied orange peel, but only in their early stages. This is a wine of immense depth and deceptive lightness that has years of life ahead. Drink through 2030.

Overall, the 2008 vintage was good but, for most regions, it stopped short of being truly excellent. It is also worth mentioning that much of the 2008 vintage would suffer in the wake of the 2008 global recession, which heavily disrupted the financial world.
In Europe, the growing season was cooler than usual, resulting in a ...
