Vintage 2020 | Rather difficult to taste now, closed nose, I smell some impressions of passion fruit, quite concentrated, fleshy. Huge promise.

Apricot, peach, kerosene, flowers, medium bodied, saline and medium acidity. 13.5 abv. Not as expressive as some wines I’ve had from them.

Just not for me, too floral, too much residual sugar. There is complexity but I favor much drier Rieslings.

Pale gold in colour. A trace of paraffin, tangerine and grapefruit peel. Palate staining intensity - mandarin flesh, ripe grapefruit, low acid with great length. I had a bottle of this a week ago which was oxidised and over the hill so I was thinking the worst for this but Lo and behold this was brilliant. This wine is at its peak. A superb dry Riesling and one of the 1001 Wines.

Aroma of a freshly opened can of tennis balls and flint. Juicy lime and slate flavors. Succulent.

Just simply delicious. Reducrive/flinty nose, penetrating limey flavors and long finish.

Dry Riesling fans in Dallas? Run now to Sigel’s to pick up a wide variety of Weinbach wines that have only recently arrived in DFW. This Grand Cru is dry, with 13.5% ABV. Characteristic white floral, mineral, and melon.

Ripeness with banging acidity, finish that lasts for days.
