justerini & brooks tasting note

Lively and juicy with a little wild ferment note, the acidity is present and stimulating; a basis for an array of vibrant dancing fruits and pockets of slate on a complex, beautifully balanced finish.

critic reviews

94/100Anne Krebiehl,Vinous

The 2022 Riesling Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen Spätlese is made without any botrytis. It was whole-bunch pressed with different press fractions fermented separately to maintain absolute tone. A touch of reduction is followed by candied Amalfi lemon peel inflected with gentle lemon balm notions. The palate is slender, beautifully tart, almost fizzing with lemon freshness. There is serenity, immense charm and exquisite lightness here. A cooling, like mint, note seems to rest on all the intense lemon flavors. Exquisitely balanced, wonderfully tart and lemony, the 2022 is only just sweet. Lemon brightness and ripeness echo long. Lovely. (Sweet)
