Niewodniczanski always presents this bottling subsequent to his Wiltinger Braunfels, not to mention to his other two generic cuvées, so don’t imagine that because it represents a blend across many communes and sites it can’t stand comparison with a top-notch single-vineyard Saar Riesling. When Niewodniczanski employs the admittedly overused and undefined “old vines” moniker, he is referring to those aged 50 and over, nearly all on their own roots and trained to single posts. The sense of salt- and fresh lemon-laced herbal broth here is slightly reminiscent of Chablis, with sheer extract sweetness enhancing the influence of pure, juicy white peach, set off by an undertone of wet stone. High extract and glycerol buffer the acidity, which nonetheless delivers palate-quickening and eye-opening intensity. Rich, smoky nut oils and glowingly cyanic piquancy of peach pit extend the mouthwatering finish.

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

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.
