Muller Catoir Haardt Riesling 2021

This is Muller Catoir's first 'village' level wine (as per the German VDP classification). As in Burgundy, the village or comune level wines can incorporate fruit from several sites including declassified fruit from single, classified vineyards. Müller-Catoir's version includes young vine material from the legendary Grosses Gewächs-rated Bürgergarten vineyard as well as from the classified sites of Herzog, Mandelring and Herrenletten.

"A stunning, bone-dry riesling for this moderate price level! Fine nose of sliced pears and honeysuckle. Stunning freshness and purity on the medium-full palate. The finish is subtlety reminiscent of Mosel. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." 94 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

“Each wine is like an essence of its grapes yet, however dense and powerful, Müller-Catoir wines possess an excellent harmony.  “Showered with praise during the last decade, this estate is now widely recognised as one of the country’s best.” Stuart Pigott, The Wine Atlas of Germany
