    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Plenty of peach and yellow fruits in a more concentrated, integrated style than we’ve seen previously. Ripe citrus, juicy with a fine, broad intensity and a little herb cream on the finish. Bottled at 7g/l residual sugar. They seek out the lighter clusters with small berries which are less susceptible to noble rot but are perfect for lending structure to the dry wines. From a tiny 0.4ha section of the vineyard planted in 1880 that remains, despite some obvious replanting, entirely ungrafted. Raised in traditional German fuder barrels for nine months rather than the usual six.

    Anne Krebiehl,

    The 2022 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Grosses Gewächs was harvested in the 140-year-old and the 72-year-old parcels of the Rausch, both in the lower reaches of the slope, down to the foot of the slope. The palate is gentle and creamy, concentration and lightness coincide, depth and power align, and there is almost a sense of Williams pear, but always tempered with creaminess. The finish is textured and elegant. It needs time to fall into place, and it will. (Dry)
