Wine Description:
This exceptional dry Riesling from Centgrafenberg is matured in a 2,400-liter Doppelstück barrel, indicating its limited production. Initially, its aroma is pristine, almost ethereal, then it unfolds into notes of trout pears and a hint of lemon. Admirers cherish its steely nature, typical of a dry-fermented Riesling. In its youth, Centgrafenberg can appear almost timid, reminiscent of Dönnhoff’s Hermannshöhle or Frank Schönleber's Halenberg, yet it evolves into a thrilling, top-tier Riesling after just a few years of aging. Sebastian aims to highlight the mineral aspects of the varietal while allowing the fruit to recede, taking inspiration from Alsace's iconic Trimbach Clos Sainte Hune. This Riesling is uniquely remarkable, especially considering Sebastian’s primary focus on Pinot varieties.

Wine Expert Note:

Rudolf Fürst Centgrafenberg GG Riesling is an exceptional wine with the best qualities of the Riesling grape variety. This wine is produced by Rudolf Fürst, a renowned winery known for their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The Centgrafenberg vineyard, located in the Franconia region of Germany, is known for its unique terroir, which imparts distinct characteristics to the wines produced from its grapes. The GG designation stands for "Grosses Gewächs," indicating that this wine is made from the best vineyard sites and represents the pinnacle of quality. On the nose, Rudolf Fürst Centgrafenberg GG Riesling offers a captivating bouquet of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, along with delicate floral notes. These aromas are complemented by hints of mineral and slate, which add complexity and depth to the wine. The palate is equally impressive, with a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. The vibrant acidity gives the wine a refreshing and lively character, while the natural sweetness of the Riesling grape provides a harmonious counterpoint. Flavors of ripe peach, green apple, and tropical fruits dance on the tongue, creating a delightful sensory experience. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. Rudolf Fürst Centgrafenberg GG Riesling is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for several years, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve.

Müller-Catoir Im Breumel Bürgergarten is an exceptional wine. It is made exclusively from Riesling grapes grown in the German equivalent of a Grand Cru vineyard. The vineyard is located in the Haardt, a range of wooded sandstone hills. The vineyard itself is surrounded by a sandstone wall whcih creates a unique, warmer, microclimate. This results in concentrated fruit, which tempers the vibrant acidity of the wine. This is really as good as dry Riesling gets.

Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Superior is harvested from low-yielding old Riesling vines in the best parts of the Abtsberg vineyard. The name “Superior” is a reference to the estate’s monastic history, as in “Father Superior.” Grapes are harvested before being pressed and fermented in inert vessels at cool temperatures to retain purity of fruit and delicacy of aromas. The fermentation is halted prematurely to retain some sweetness that perfectly balances the racy acidity.
