    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Spreitzer, Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2013

    Brunnen is a spring in this quartz vineyard to which the Spreitzers attribute many of the minerals in this cuvee and as a result you feel like you can almost taste the cool spring water coursing through this wine. Very fine and direct, with cool stony highly transparent yellow grapefruit and lime flavours and a very fine seam of minerality flowing through the middle.

    David Schildknecht, Vinous
    Ripe white peach is piquantly accented on the nose as well as the satiny, glossy palate by peach kernel and hickory nut. This is one of several Spreitzer 2018s that show a slightly high-toned suggestion of fruit distillate, and like its vintage 2017 and 2016 predecessors it harbors around 13% alcohol, but fortunately that doesn’t translate into any harshness or heat. Stony, alkaline and mouthwateringly saline nuances accompany the long yet in other respects restrained finish. But then, restraint can lay good claim to being a specific Rheingau virtue.
