"Very flinty with a ton of grilled grapefruit this is a dangerously energetic dry Mosel Riesling. The concentration and brilliance are both almost off the scale." -Stuart Piggott

"Very flinty with a ton of grilled grapefruit this is a dangerously energetic dry Mosel riesling. The concentration and brilliance are both almost off the scale. The minerality is only just beginning to reveal itself, but what you get already says welcome to the geology museum! Every moment of extra patience will help this mind-bending wine lean back and relax. Limited production. Drinkable now, but best from 2024."

"The 2021 Wintricher Geierslay Riesling "GW" is bright and intense as well as complex and pure on the precise and citric nose. From blue-purple colored slate and quartzite soils, this is a round and elegant, pretty charming and yeasty-textured old-vines Riesling that fermented slowly, with the malolactic fermentation included. The finish reveals serious phenolic grip and bitterness; its character is quite rich and powerful without being fat or boring. I would cellar it for another 4 or 5 years due to its intensity and phenolics. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023."
