As you'd expect given the Rheingau location, this family estate focuses mainly on Riesling, but also has plantings of Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), new to the Wine Society in this 2021 bottling. It's a lovely vintage, fresh and with good acidity (the 2022 is apparently rounder in character). There's 7.9g/L residual sugar, but it's in perfect balance – this is all about weight of fruit, apple and lemon, with a hint of spice. Clean, juicy and with lovely freshness – easy to enjoy with or without food.
