White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "Sourced from the single vineyards Jungfer, Schönhell and Würzgarten, the 2020 Hallgarten Riesling trocken Alte Reben combines the higher location of the vineyards with the 40+-year-old, narrowly planted vines that give a particular coolish micro-climate, according to Peter Bernhard. Vinified in 60% stainless steel and 40% large oak casks, the nose is clear, bright, intense and complex in its sexy purity that combines yellow fruit aromas and uplifting, almost floral and ethereal terroir notes. Medium to full-bodied, this is a crystalline and silky, enormously pure and elegant, salty, vital and frisky Riesling with remarkable finesse and piquancy. It is very stimulating in its salty-piquant finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2022." — 90 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (June 2022)
