Riesling Trocken Wintricher Geierslay "Sur Lie"

Germany
Mosel
2022

The "vulture slate" vineyard, planted to 65-year-old vines in a gorgeously situated cool side valley of the Mosel. Eleven months on the lees and 12g/l RS at bottling imbues this with fantastic texture and an overall character of relaxed confidence. Then the slate hits the finish like a mic drop. Wow.

"Still very youthful with terrific tension, this excellent dry Mosel riesling has stacks of wild herb and flower character on the compact and concentrated medium-bodied palate. Very expressive of the straight and very mineral personality of this underrated site. And with some aeration a delightful lemon blossom aroma emerges on the nose. Excellent potential! Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Screw cap."
