The 2020 Gutedel Heugumber is one of Ziereisen's most successful and stunning wines. This pure Chasselas fermented to fully dry with Mosel-like 10.5% stated alcohol and just 0.4 grams per liter of residual sugar, and it aged on the lees for 20 months in traditional large oak casks. In Napa, they would possibly cook pasta with the 2020, which doesn't miss anything. The wine opens with a fascinating, pure, intense and elegant, discreetly reductive but also finely saline and smoky bouquet of ripe fruits. On the palate, this is a round, elegant and refined yet amazingly intense, saline and structured, even mineral white with quite a long but highly serving finish, namely for dishes with raw fish. This is a lot of (serious) wine for a Chasselas that sells for less than 10 euros ex-cellar. Tasted in November 2022 (L 05 22). ... More details

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.
