Old Vines Saar Riesling 2021 (0.75l)

A very spicy, smoky, slate-like nose. The stone dominates here; the fruit in the bouquet doesn't stand a chance against this dense spice. The aroma is fantastic, very intense and clear. The first impression on the palate is somewhat more generous than the nose; the wine displays some typical yellow fruit. Then that crazy slate-like minerality comes through again, pushing the fruit aside. Wonderfully salty, piquant, and crisp, with gripping tannins, a long, citrusy-salty finish; everything is super intense and challenging, yet with beautifully integrated acidity. A complete antithesis to the Old Vines Mosel, a gripping rock wine with simultaneous harmony.
