Fragrant bouquet of white flowers and citrus peels with a touch of fresh peach & wild herbs; soft and silky at first, then fresh and dry with medium body, beautiful fruit (see above), well integrated acidity and fine, mineral finish.

Pure, juvenile, restrained yet intense first impression, a multifaceted bouquet featuring fresh citrus peel, fresh stone (white peaches) and pome fruit, a hint of white flowers, hay, green tealeaf and yeasty spice; very fresh and very dry before the palate reveals the fruit tones mentioned before; this wine is vigorous though fine and precise, densely structured and perfectly balanced not by residual sugar but by its sugar free extract, this Riesling is no power pack nor a palate pleaser but a natural authority as it remains full of firm tension until the final marked by again hints of bright fruit, spice and mineral almost salty impressions: an outstanding vintage from the heart of the Heiligenstein, a wine with an incredible lifespan ahead.

The Steinmassel, formerly understandably categorized as Reserve, offers a brilliant opening act: an elegantly drawn blend of gooseberry and red peach, lively and already multi-layered with a robust base note that continues on the palate with crystal clear, pale fruit nuances. Exhilarating, yet also simultaneously deep; impressive substance pairs with a fine, racy play of acid. Long finish and plenty of potential for further development. Unquestionably the best Steinmassel ever.

Ultra good drinking here, simple and vital done well, juicy green apple flavours, cut of citrusy acidity. It’s fragrant and fun, bright and fresh, good length, tightly wound, riesling DNA writ large. No brainer for good times.
