Stunningly clear, pure and spicy on the nose, where tropical fruit aromas are displayed but cool, slate flavors are kept and are not covered by buckets of fruits, the 2013 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling trocken GG Alte Reben is still pure and precise and very delicate and elegant on the nose. Delicate and juicy, balanced and piquant, in a very subtle way, this is a filigreed structured and persistently salty wine with the delicacy and purity of a great dry Mosel Riesling. ... More details

This late-release 2013 Wurzgarten reflects the parcel’s sunbaked red soils in its density and juicy flavors. Although vinified dry, it’s packed with notes of honeyed peaches and papaya limned with gingerroot spice. It’s immediately inviting, and also poised to age further, with the electric acidity and mineral core to sustain it.

Fresh lime, basil, strawberry eau de vie and wet stone introduce a satiny palate satisfyingly juicy in its evocation of fresh strawberry and cooling in its green herbal aspect. Hints of cress and lime zest lend incisive, zesty invigoration to a lingering, mouthwateringly saline finish. The corresponding Wehlener is more intriguingly nuanced but this Wurzgarten is more winsome. I suspect that both will outlast their “regular” Grosses Gewachs counterparts, which were not nearly as interesting, charming or indeed juicy and mouthwatering when I last tasted them soon after their mid-2014 bottling.

Greater purity and fragrant definition here with only 12 months on gross lees. This has stone and mineral notes, fresh apple blossom, lime too, and a distinctive spicy edge that really lifts on the nose. The palate has impressive concentration, quite punchy, deep and even; assertive concentrated flavors in the apple and lime spectrum. Smooth lees influence on offer, almost creamy, very complete and deep. Drink now and over the next decade or more.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes have produced some of the finest wines of the Old World over the past couple of centuries, and are quickly becoming much loved by New World audiences as their influence continues to spread across the globe. They are generally grown and cultivated in colder climates, as is found in their native Germany, where they have the remarkable ability to pick up and express interesting features of their terroir, or the ground on which they are grown. As such, wine enthusiasts generally find Riesling one of the more interesting white grape varietals, as they produce aromas which are highly floral and perfumed alongside both fruit flavors and refreshing notes of stone and alpine water, depending on where they have been grown. Furthermore, Riesling grapes produce a large variety of fine wines, from still to sparkling, sweet to dry, and wineries which work with this grape have long since been experimenting with both frozen and rotten grapes to find out just how versatile and exciting this varietal can be.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
