"Stillness at dawn as there is still dew on the vegetation. The last flowers of the summer and the first fully ripe fruits of the autumn. Stunning interplay of flinty minerality, restrained citrusy fruit and very elegant acidity. Such a graceful finish that glides off in the direction of the distant horizon. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad G.C. is from lighter, sandier soils, relatively flat, on Triassic sandstone. The nose is not forthcoming. The palate, however, unites overtones of tangerine with a smooth, serene, fluid body that packs quite a punch of freshness. This is stonier, more direct, linear and not quite ready to talk to us yet. Libelli says Reiterpfad always takes time to come out of its shell. (Bone-dry)"
