J. B. Becker
Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken Riesling
A true trocken spätlese - virtually zero RS. Golden tropical fruit. Delicious.

Feb 17th, 2024My first JB Becker wine
Day 1 Served 2-3 glasses with the Vinloq Wine System and let it breathe in the glass for ~90 mins
Nose- Lemons and mint with a mineral backdrop
Taste- Minerality complements the lemongrass, mint, and lemon citrus notes. There is a candied aspect to the fruits suggesting tropical fruit. The salty minerality makes this refreshing.
Stored the bottle in the fridge under Vinloq Preservation Gas
Day 16 Finished the bottle and it seemed unchanged. There were the same lemon and citrus notes and that rocky minerality was still present
This seems like it would shine with a decade + cellar time and I plan to bury my remaining bottles at least that long
