Wallufer Oberberg Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken

While they may not always be up my alley as is the case here, the Becker wines have always been special. This was definitely not a filigreed kabi and doesn’t have to be. It’s unapologetically Rheingau! The weighty oily texture and ripe exotic fruit notes speaks of the place and vintage, yet in typical Becker fashion, its all framed in a strong acidic backbone and smokey, iodine-like minerality. Couldn’t drink much more than a glass, but I can certainly appreciate its uniqueness.
