Rödelseer Schwanleite Trocken Scheurebe 2021

This Scheu is excellent. Some kind of a cross of Riesling and a wild vine by Georg Scheu in 1916 hence the name. Highly aromatic but more green than a Riesling less depth and build more for easy drinking even for this wine coming from old vines. Tastes a little bit like a Sauvignon Blanc. Passionfruit, hint of Pyrazines aka Grapefruit found in the New Zealand Savs’s. 🍋 Lemon. 12%. — 4 months ago

Berg Schlossberg Riesling 2008

Another Breuer I got to follow over three days. While it was incredible, I felt the bottle could have been better. The 08’ Schlossberg I had 4 years ago was spectacularly fresh, tight even; and the pair of older 07’ Kellers I had this trip were both fresher; plus this bottle fell off on day 3 while the 09’ Roseneck peaked.

This bottle was best on day 1. It had aromas of smoke, sea spray, nectarines, green apples, lemon rinds, chamomile which kept growing with air, heaps of spices, fresh honey, and a touch of petrol. The palate was super dense and intense, with a screaming acidity and palate-staining stoniness. Huge finish that just seemed endless. Paired with a roasted bone marrow and parsley dish, it was just insane.

Day 2 saw little evolution from day 1. The petrol character totally disappeared, and a mild bitterness appeared. On day 3 the wine just felt tired and not quite at the level of the previous days. All things considered, it was a beautiful riesling, but just didn’t live up to the expectations of its legendary status.

Berg Roseneck Riesling 2009

Followed this wine across three days, and I’d say it was an excellent example of Roseneck. Poured out with a mostly bright green-yellow colour, with touches of light golden hue on some angles in the light.

On day 1, it had aromas of flint, sea spray, apples, fresh honey, and a touch of petrol. Palpable minerality on the palate, almost painfully so. Not the weightiest, but it sure had intensity. Notable sparkly acidity.

On day 2, I had an 08’ Schlossberg to compare with and this was clearly the more filigreed of the two. The 09’ Roseneck was lighter, more mineral, and less complex. It felt greener even - perhaps it was picked earlier in light of the warm vintage. Comparison aside, the nose evolved a little from day 1, with the petrol hints disappearing altogether, the honey note becoming more like honey candy instead of fresh honey, and the appearance of white florals. The palate was again sparkly, with a palate-staining minerality.

I felt day 3 was the best showing of the 09’ Roseneck, with the fruit and floral notes taking a back seat, and the salinity just dominating. Notably, it looked fresher than the 08’ Schlossberg on this day. The palate was just all about that sea spray. The palate was wild - tasted a lot like salted limes doused with fresh honey. The finish was super mineral with hints of lime zest and green apples. Just pure energy!

I’ve seen quite a number of tasting notes on CL noting that the 09’ Roseneck’s possibly close to its peak but I’m inclined to believe otherwise.

Non filtered pinot blanc. I’m always a bit sceptical with these kind of wines so just wonderful when it proves me wrong! — 2 years ago

Niersteiner Paterberg Kabinett Riesling 2018

Who would have thought I like a sweet white wine....not me. But I did! Described as semi-dry. Had very much a sweet edge. But than it turned smoky, earthy, minerally. Evolving depth and complexity. Awesome! — 4 years ago
