The 2021 Riesling Kallstadter Saumagen Spätlese trocken has a touch of dried lime and grapefruit zest on the nose, joining in with the aromatic pear and lovely Reine Claude and Mirabelle skin. There is fruit, but always with something textural. The palate bears this out with a harmonious, even flow and gentle ripeness. There's a very smooth spine of ripe freshness. This is quiet and unshowy - like the entire collection, but very convincing. The finish is yeasty, delving into deep limestone. ... More details

The enticing nose has a wide spectrum of stone fruits with as much mirabelle as apricot with touches of honeysuckle and passion fruit. Stunning interplay of concentrated fruit and fine chalky minerality on the focused medium-bodied palate. Very long finish where the fruit is beautifully underlined by a hint of fine tannin. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Spätlese trocken is deep, pure, refined and chalky on the nose that shows clear, bright and elegant fruit with a coolish-flinty character. Lush and dense as well as crystalline and persistently saline on the palate, this is an intense, sustainably structured and perfectly fruity Saumagen Spätlese with serious substance and aging capacity. There is beautiful, persistent salinity and savoriness here. A gorgeous wine to lay down for about five years. 12% stated alcohol.
Winery
Firmly dry, rich, layered, intense, and practically vibrating with minerality. A twenty-five year wine.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

Region: Pfalz

The region of Pfalz in Germany is generally considered to be one of the best places in the country when it comes to wine production, and the stunning array of grapevines which thrive in the fertile soils of the region are a testament to just how suited the land is to German viticulture. Pfalz has been a fine place for cultivating vineyards for over two thousand years, ever since the Romans first established wineries in the northern parts of the region. Almost consistently since then, more and more vineyards have been planted, and more and more wineries set up, and today, Pfalz is the second largest wine region in the country, and home to an impressive array of native and imported red and white wine grape varietals.

Country: Germany

If German wine has had something of a bad reputation in the past, it may well be the fault of the fact that for a long time now, the Germans have simply kept all the best produce to themselves. Visit any town or village in wine producing regions of Germany, and you'll be faced with a stunning array of extremely high quality wines, each matched with local dishes and full of distinct character and flavor. As white wine production makes up for about two-thirds of all Germany's wine industry, this is by far the most visible and widely enjoyed type of wine, but one should not overlook the quality and range of rosé and red wines on offer from this fascinating country. In particular, the Spatburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) are generally of an exceptionally high quality, being full of dark, intense hedgerow fruit flavors and exciting spicy notes with a silky smooth finish.
