Stein Erste Lage Grüner Veltliner 2011

These are Ott Gruners are exotically rich and textured, structured with actual tannins and whopping acidity, and possess incredible flavors ranging from tropical fruits to citrus, along with intense minority. Really unique among Gruners, these are the most fascinating white wines I've had in some time. This '11 is more structured, while the 12 is richer and even more textured. — 11 years ago

L Schieferformation Laubach Uhlen Erste Lage Riesling

Dude. We we’re eating Indian when we opened this bottle & it was the most perfect thing with the cuisine on the table. It’s mineral, it’s acid driven, it’s flavorful, there’s the right amount of RS with a refreshing zippiness that just kept me coming back for more. — 6 years ago

Quite a step up in complexity & depth compared to the Kabi. More exotic flavours like pineapple, mango and lychee mixed with a lot of ripe peach. But you recognize the undertones of minerality immediately.
On the palate this wine has so much tension, extract & what we call in German "Spiel". Amazing balance between sweetness & acidity. Long, long finish. Astonishing life ahead.

Was on the search for a Reisling after reading "A hedonist in the cellar", which I highly recommend! Wine was crisp, big flavors of lemon and pear, with a great combination of sweet and sourness! Simply yummy! — 9 years ago

Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Erste Lage Spätlese Riesling 2012

Straw gold in the glass. Peach, stone, and petrol on the nose. Full mouthfeel; somewhat oily with a bit of spritz. Good, firm acidity balances the richness of the RS. Peach, pome, and stone. Longish finish. Fine example of the German standard. — 9 years ago

Kirchberg Grosse Lage Riesling 2008

Rich, unctuous and concentrated dry Riesling, but - kudos to the 2008 acidity - by no means flabby. Great tension, slatey minerals and deep orange fruit notes (tangerine, peach and guave). A very delicate hint of savoury crustaceans really adds to the complexity! Beautiful wine. — 8 years ago

Right? As suspected it's pretty logical stuff: stomp the grapes as you harvest to fit more in the bin, old manual basket press, ferment in neutral foudre, natural yeast, no racking/filtration, gravity straight to bottle.
