A very serious dry riesling! Deep nose of lemon curd and lime marmalade with hints of pie crust and lemon blossom. In spite of just 12.5% alcohol, this has an imposing structure and makes a bold statement on the palate. Very long, dark and mineral finish with a touch of candied lemon. Drink or hold. ...

Intensely golden-yellow in color, the 2019 Burgberg GG opens with a deep, rich, complex and pretty "Burgundian" bouquet that reveals yeasty notes framing the intensely aromatic fruit aromas. A wine to be served from the Burgundy or maybe Bordeaux glass. Silky, refined and highly finessed on the palate, this is a full-bodied, pure and stunningly lean and salty, perfectly balanced dry Riesling with a long and fine, stimulating salty and refreshing citric finish. This is possibly Caroline’s finest dry Riesling thus far, and connoisseurs will cellar it for at least 5 or 6 years, even though it already tastes beautiful. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.

green grapes

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.

Country: Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.
