justerini & brooks tasting note

Lusciously sweet and aristocratic, with a generous spread of marmalade and white chocolate, clove, figs and honey it envelops the senses. Plush and yet concentrated it will outlive all of us. A very small part of the vineyard was not harvested in the normal timeframe, in the hope of an Eiswein. In the end, this was not possible, so they opted to pick two days before Christmas and use an old wooden basket press to process the grapes. It was fermented in stainless steel and was bottled as a fine Beerenauslese at 7% ABV.

critic reviews

98+/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Riesling Beerenauslese Oberhauser Brucke is intense, clear and concentrated on the fine and pure nose, displaying a nutty aroma in the beginning. Rich, intense and concentrated on the palate, this BA is very sweet and oily textured but also highly refined and crystalline, with a long, stimulatingly salty, piquant and tensioned finish. It is very digestible already today, but again, the best is yet to come. I suppose the 2019 is even finer than the already world-class 2018, which I had almost a year ago. Tasted in May 2020 (AP 2020).
