Considering how young this Saar riesling TBA is, and that it comes from such an extreme vintage as 2021 this already has a very beautiful nose of dried peach and mango, plus some delicate floral notes. At once very dense, racy and filigree on the compact palate this is astonishingly forthright and refreshing for the category, the extremely long finish at once super-crisp and complete. This will live for many decades. Very limited production.

A cornucopia of ripe exotic and citrus fruits expand on the nose. Then you plunge into this extremely lush wine that has underlying streak of honey, like a seam of gold in a deep mine. The breathtakingly vibrant acidity lights up the entire sky at the finish and makes this feel much less sweet than it really is. Limited production.

This smells like the most beautiful white peach you can imagine; the kind of fruit that’s almost impossible to buy. Very pure and vibrant in spite of the lush fruit, the racy acidity giving this a stunning crystalline clarity and tremendous length. Made from 100% botrytized fruit. Limited production.
