What a smouldering siren! An old-vine selection from the Heiligenstein vineyard, where the south- to southwest-facing slopes sit on Permian bedrock (weathered desert sandstone with volcanic conglomerates). The nose quietly reveals nuances of wet stone and lemon curd, with a subtle suggestion of creamy lees. The palate follows through with an embryonic mix of citrus, stone fruit and crushed rocks tightly woven in the core. Lightweight but with sneaky concentration, this is sinewy, taut and electrifying. The racy green apple spine leads to a zesty lemon zip on the finish. Ageing is in 10-hectolitre oak foudres.
