The 2023 Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese is intense and savory yet also still reductive on the nose that is dominated by sulfur, citrus fruits and notes of crushed stones and herbs. Round and savory on the palate, with crystalline and saline acidity, this is a remarkably fine and filigreed Würzgarten with a stimulating saline, savory and finely juicy finish. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in December 2024 (AP 1924).

Sweet, earthy wheatgrass and herbs overlay delicate green apple and peach in this balanced, pure spätlese. Bitter mineral, spicy ginger and cool crushed slate notes course throughout, with tangy acidity landing the energetic finish. Drink now through 2040. 1,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes have produced some of the finest wines of the Old World over the past couple of centuries, and are quickly becoming much loved by New World audiences as their influence continues to spread across the globe. They are generally grown and cultivated in colder climates, as is found in their native Germany, where they have the remarkable ability to pick up and express interesting features of their terroir, or the ground on which they are grown. As such, wine enthusiasts generally find Riesling one of the more interesting white grape varietals, as they produce aromas which are highly floral and perfumed alongside both fruit flavors and refreshing notes of stone and alpine water, depending on where they have been grown. Furthermore, Riesling grapes produce a large variety of fine wines, from still to sparkling, sweet to dry, and wineries which work with this grape have long since been experimenting with both frozen and rotten grapes to find out just how versatile and exciting this varietal can be.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
