Wonderful nose of ripe apricot, but with fantastic Amalfi lemon freshness, also smoky and stony notes as this concentrated, medium-bodied dry riesling rolls gracefully over your palate. Long, intensely slatey finish. From organically grown grapes grown in all the top sites of Enkirch harvested at just 30 hectolitres per hectare (2 tons per acre). Drink or hold. Screw cap. ...

Based on very small, golden-colored berries, the 2022 Escheburg is predominately based on ungrafted vines from the grand cru sites and opens with an intensely aromatic and schistic bouquet of fully ripe, almost pink berries intermingled with saline notes of crushed stones. Sulfured just a few days before the bottling, this is a refined and saline, substantial and persistent Riesling with remarkable vintage and terroir expression. It's low in sulfur but high enough to be singing. 11% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in November 2023.
Winery
Normally a blend of all four steep slope grand crus from Immich: Batterieberg, Zeppwingert, Ellergrub, and Steffensberg; but this year the Ellergrub fruit from blue slate dominates to scintillating effect. Mostly old and ungrafted vines — at least 60 years old — the vinous heritage of Germany expressed in a generously affordable bottle. One of the star wines of the estate, and dollar-for-quality, the best value. Note: Benefits from a little air; in fact a bottle of this we opened recently was still kicking and delicous after four days.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.

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.
