THE BEST VINTAGE EVER OF THIS???? Firmly dry, rich, layered, intense, and practically vibrating with minerality. A twenty-five year wine.

Elbling is enjoying a small renaissance among German importers these days... but we’ve had this grape in our back pocket for years. A great old Germanic wine grape with a long history traceable to imperial Roman times, it was Germany's most cultivated variety until the early 20th century. Today its...

Always a pleasure and always great value for Riesling-lovers, the grapes for Jean-Baptiste are mainly grown on the lower terraces of the Niersteiner Pettenthal (a grand cru site). Technically a feinherb style, or "balanced off-dry” at about 22-24g/l RS every year.  This is a wine we've used again...
