Müller-Catoir Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Erste Lage Trocken

This was my favorite among a range of tasty single-vineyard wines; the site always seems to give intensely bakey Rieslings from its sandy/loessy soil; it was the warmest and most intriguing of the 1er Lage trio; baking bread, crusts, spelt flour – a side of Riesling I love and which is hard to find – not led by fruit or even by mineral; it’s warm, inferential, savory, crackery; fields of flavor but uncanny. You hardly thought wine could taste like this.
