A selection of Germany’s highly acclaimed 2021 vintage

Translated as slate terraces, this is one of the most beautiful and imposing vineyards that I have visited. Although this is considered the "entry level" into the range, this wine exudes class and complexity, thanks in part to 50 year old + vines, complex grey and blue devonian slate and ageing for 10 months on lees in large fudres.

Apricot, pink grapefruit and flinty notes are incredibly concentrated with an awesome vibrancy and nervy core. There are layers of complexity in this wine with both savoury and fruit forward aromas that will continue to develop and express themselves further with bottle age.

Citrus and saline core combines beautifully with white peach and mint verbena notes. Fleshy apricot notes continue on the finish alongside the salty and crisp acidity.
