Muller Catoir Burgergarten Riesling 2021

Single site dry organic Riesling sourced from the famous Bürgergarten vineyard on the lower slopes of the Haardt Mountains. It's a site that is rated as Grosses Gewächs or Grand Cru and was first planted over 700 years ago, making it one of the oldest vineyards in the Pfalz. 

"Effusive aromas of apricots and lemon zest with hints of summer flowers. At once succulent, graceful and finely nuanced on the palate, then very long and filigree at the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." 94 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

“All the wines from Müller-Catoir are outstanding, effortlessly combining an intensity of flavour with an undeniable exoticism. The Rieslings can be brilliant, their richness balanced by a vibrant acidity, and the Scheurebe can usually persuade me that I like Scheurebe. And it was here, many yea rs ago, that I learned how wonderful Rieslaner can be. It has higher acidity then Riesling, so sweet Rieslaner is never cloying, and always has an invigorating raciness and zest. The BAs and TBA's can be amongst the great sweet wines of Germany.”Stephen Brook, The Wines of Germany, Mitchell Beazley
