Next up is the Riesling Vom Roten Schiefer 2022 from Clemens Busch. The red slate in Pünderich is the rarest of their three soil types and showed particularly well in 2022. This wine hails from their Rothenpfad and Nonnengarten vineyards and is beautifully spicy, dense and delicate with a long, savoury, grapefruit finish.
Finally, we have the crystalline, off-dry Graacher Riesling Feinherb 2022 from Willi Schaefer at only 10.5% alcohol. It has ‘astonishing finesse and slatey intensity for a village wine’ (JamesSuckling.com) with lots of bright lemon and white peach notes. The textured, creamy palate is followed by a ‘super-long and graceful finish that takes your breath away’.
