From a parcel on a steep slope in the Neu Bamberg district that is characterized by reddish clay slate and sandstone strongly colored by iron oxide, the 2022 Neu Bamberg Riesling Rotliegend opens with a very intense but also still somewhat untamed bouquet on the pure, nevertheless refined and typical mineral nose that reveals stony notes as well as diverse citrus fruits and mango aromas (the latter in a discreet expression, though). Entirely vinified in stainless steel, the wine is round, lush and also savory in its mineral character. This is a linear dry Riesling with enormous tension and persistent salinity. This is not built on flesh and texture but entirely on terroir. It's a challenging wine for many consumers, but it's delightful for Riesling nerds who don't want to spend a fortune. There's very good length and remarkable complexity for a Riesling at this price point. Gorgeous. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in January 2024.
