So deep it feels like its pulling in the direction of the centre of the earth! Yet, another side of the wine seems to float above the world. Radically mineral finish that leaves you in no doubt about this great dry Riesling's future. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023 - James Suckling
"Deep flinty nose with complex mirabelle, fresh quince and baking spice
notes. Ripe and very focused, medium-bodied with an energy that builds
and builds as it drives its way out towards the distant horizon. Excellent
aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2023." 97 points. Stuart

‘Effusive white fruit and mirabelle with some floral notes make this racy, Kabinett-style riesling so juicy and energetic on the palate, with a long, medium-dry, mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. The first vintage of this wine. Drink now. Screw cap.’ 91 points, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, July 2021.
Benefiting from de-classification of several of Burklin-Wolf’s most prestigious sites, this is a classic Pfalz Riesling with depth of flavor, aromatic spice and a soft, voluptuous dry finish. Originates from de-classified P.C. vineyards.
Organic. The Herrenletten Erste Lage sits adjacent to Bürgergarten. The name Herrenletten combines both the historical and the geological: Herren, indicates that the region was owned by noble landlords in the Middle Ages; the second part, letten, refers to the type of soil-sandy clay with layers of limestone and chalky clay. The oldest Riesling vines here are 40 years old (the site is also home to Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, though obviously not in use here!)

Dry. Screwcap. Gutswein is the base classification in the VDP for house wines that are blends of estate fruit. Müller-Catoir does not typically export this wine. Rather they bottle it in 1-litre format and mainly sell it only to local restaurants.
It is a blend of Riesling (at least 85%), with lesser amounts of Rieslaner, Scheurebe and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc). It comes entirely from a single harvest although you won't find the vintage on the bottle as the Gutswein classification … more
Im Breumel is a historic walled section (a 'clos' in other words) within the Haardter Bürgergarten vineyard.
Expect a steady procession of flavours and structures building through the palate and anchored to tensile, nervy energy. When it gets going, the finish roars towards an extraordinarily long, complex and potent close. For those without the patience or inclination to wait, a decant and food will help this youthful siren sing.

This pinot shows the benefits of Jonannes' father Werner's ground-breaking work in concentrating on dry pinots (other vignerons used to think that he was crazy!) and also the work selecting old vine genetic material (from Burgundy mostly) to plant in the family plots. His passion for pinot has rubbed off on Johannes and these are now great wines, this one from sites on the German side of the border, mostly with limestone rock. It's a full flavoured and deeply flavoured, … more
Through the elevations and depression of the Rhine Rift the structures of soils are really different: from really old and usually deep soils, like Rotliegendes (red Slate), Buntsandstein (colorful sandstone) or Muschelkalk (limestone), up to younger soils like Hangschotter (gravel) or Lo¨ß (loess). Our vineyard side "Im Sonnenschein" has limestone, which developed 220 Million years ago. The chalks are maritime sediments with fossilized slugs and shells. Limestone is the best soil for long lasting, great wines!
