Tasting notes
The 2021 Brunnenhäuschen Riesling GG offers a clear, intense and warm, tender and very elegant as well as balanced bouquet of ripe fruits, crushed limestone and iron. Silky and very elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied yet pure, saline and stimulating Riesling from red clay-limestone. In terms of texture, this is a finely tannic and still nobly bitter-finishing Brunnenhäuschen. It is a kind of bridge from Westhofen to Wittmann's Niersteiner, and its balanced, silky character is closer to the Niersteiner than to, for example, Keller's Abtserde. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.

Deep, cool and elegant with smoky notes of wet stone, lemon balm and baked lemon. The creamy palate is still quite closed at this point, with only the unrelenting strength and momentum to suggest the full extent of unrealised potential. Hints of extract and sweetness are balanced by a beautiful zesty energy and concentration. (PS)
