Müller-Catoir Riesling Grosses Gewächs Bürgergarten Im Breumel 2021

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.

"Still extremely youthful, this 2021 riesling GG is going to take a while to come out of its shell. However, the combination of concentrated citrusy fruit and fresh herb finesse is already very apparent. Bone dry, but beautifully balanced and polished at the very long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024." - 96 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

"The result is a classic style, very elegant and fine, with candied peach fruit combined with lemongrass and a suggestion of vermouth. The texture is creamy and enrobes the taut acidity. A timeless beauty." 95 points, Decanter

"Balanced on the generous and spicy palate; juicy layers spinning between the exotic perfume of quince, kumquat and green pineapple. Lingering spice moves in a foxtrot-like step through the dance of sweet and sour. Playful, nuanced and long." - 17.5 points, jancisrobinson.com
