Wine Reviews
A gorgeous white, showing appealing gentleness and density, with beeswax notes and honeyed edges to its core of preserved lemon rind, nectarine and dried flowers. Some phenolic structure gives this real framework and presence, with blanched almond, garlic scape and crushed slate in the backdrop. Concentrated, fluid and harmonious.
The 2024 Riesling Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru comes from a slightly less exposed but steep granitic site. It is shyer with its charms, but a stony, smoky note already lives in that slight reductive tremor on the nose. The palate is almost bare, almost austere, showing slight smokiness and citrus, but it has distinct fluidity, purity and a superb freshness that will carry this along. This needs time. Distant aromas like candied angelica are a promise. (Bone-dry)
Reduction and green-yellow lemon zest vie for attention on the nose. The palate is beautifully taut, with a zesty element that still swings with a touch of yeasty richness and texture but shows the hard stone underneath.
