A Bowler favorite, year after year. Clemens’ only parcel of blue slate on the Marienburg, which imparts luster, florality, sizzling acids and fantastic staying power to the wine. There is some skin contact in this wine’s vinification, lending a mild tannic backbone. It’s a steely pleaseure for...
65-90 year old ungrafted vines planted on grey slate. A dry wine from a site famous for its noble sweets. Firm, vivid, gingery, incredibly ripe and saline with acidity that elevates it to a quiveringly “alive” state of being. Perhaps the best food wine in this collection and clearly a long term...

This crisp, zesty, flavorsome dry Riesling comes from rolling hillside vineyards in the southern Pfalz around Ilbesheim. Most of the soils are loam mixed with a top layer of loess -- a decomposed calcium-rich dust deposited from ancient glaciers. The wine was vinified in steel and offers 7+ grams...

100% Pinot Blanc grown about 5km south of the Rhein in two sites, an east facing slope of clay and a west facing slope of limestone. Aged for one year on the lees in 80% steel and 20% barrel. Serious, structured, salty, elegant wine that snaps the taster to attention.
