2021 Riesling Spiegel

The 2021 Riesling Spiegel Grand Cru is the richest grand cru on marly sandstone with quartz pebbles. This was harvested in a lieu-dit called Stein due to the quartz rocks in the soil. Slight yeasty funkiness initially obscures the tart, bright Reine Claude plums, edged with lemon. The palate is salty, with a sinuous body that tingles with lemony freshness and makes the mouth water with that combo of saltiness and citrus. There is just a little more body. Exceptionally, this has 4 g/L of residual sweetness. Beautifully long. (Dry)
