From a single, warm, southwest-facing plot on red porphyry soils with 12-year-old vines, the 2017 Riesling Neu Bamberg Rotliegend is bright, clear and intense on the warm and delicately spicy and herbal nose that blends the purity of the soil with the warmth of the exposition. It's kind of like the original Würzgarten, if you like to draw comparisons. On the palate, this is a generous, lush and elegant Riesling with intense fruit and texture, fine tannin grip and lingering salinity. Very juicy on the finish. It's kind of like a red wine. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020.
