Franzen
Bremmer Calmont Riesling
Mosel, Germany
This bottling, which relies principally on old vines in the lower reaches of Calmont, delivers clarity and mineral diversity that I missed in the corresponding Frauenberg bottling. Marine breeze and quarry dust mingle on the nose with ripe apple and earthy raw autumn squashes. A silken feel is complemented by buoyancy and juicy abundance of fruit, and the mineral dimensions reprise on a long-lasting finish. (David Schildknecht, Vinous, January 2020)
