This wine is delicious - pale lemon with a green tinge, 8%abv, medium sweet without being cloying thanks to abundant acidity. Lovely aroma of crushed stone, Mirabelle plums, lemon, lime, white peach, even a hint of pineapple along with honeysuckle and acacia. All the aroma are reflected on the palate with only the barest hint of petrol. Very long on the finish. It’s yours and closed now but in three or four years I’ll line up to get a glass of this.

The famed ‘Urziger Wurzgarten Vineyard’ is set on red volcanic and slate soils and has become well-known for the spicy character that the terroir can impart in their Rieslings. This beautiful 2018 Spatlase unveils petrol with wet stone, green apple and white pepper aromas that all meld in the glass. The palate has great power and concentraiton, delivering Granny Smith apple, nectarine rind, wet stone and lychee flavors that mingle with the wonderful bright sense of minerality. Beautiful now in its youth, the 2018 ‘Urziger Wurzgarten Vineyard’ Spatlase will cellar well for two decades. Drink 2019-2035- 93

Wow, really great! On the nose I got plenty of peach, apricot, pear and hints of plastic. On the palate it was showing all the same notes as well as orange blossom and Lychee. Some signs of CO2 with bubbles in the glass and because of the crisp and tart burst I got when tasting.
