Tasting notes
The 2020 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese ** (White Capsule) is deep, pure and fresh on the bright, shining and fragrant yet intense and well-concentrated nose of ripe and elegant Riesling fruit. Full-bodied and enormously concentrated on the first palate yet soon with refreshing mineral acidity, this is a crystalline, refined and saline Würzgarten Auslese whose purity and finesse are remarkable, even though this 2020 was still austere straight from the bottle. The finish is very, very long and intense. 11.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 63 21 in July 2022. To be released next year at the earliest.
