Best from 2015 through 2025

There is fine richness to the relatively full-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel as well as a subtle minerality that extends to the delicious and seductive finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit emerges

plenty of black fruit laced with tar and black pepper

The mineral-driven and highly energetic medium-bodied flavors possess solid mid-palate volume before terminating in a firm and youthfully austere finale

More interesting are the rich

Battenfeld Spanier, Zellerweg Schwarzen Hergott Riesling GG Vintage:2022 Best from 2015 through 2025The very smoky and flinty nose pulls you inexorably into this dense and highly structured dry riesling, but those descriptors make the wine sound austere, whereas all this is wrapped in concentrated mirabelle fruit. The entire composition making a bold statement, particularly at the long and imposingly chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
