Score

94

"Complex nose of mirabelle, spice and chamomile. At once ripe and fleshy with a vibrant citrusy acidity and flinty energy. Juicy and refined with a lovely freshness that lifts the generous body. Long, textural and elegant finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Ruppertsberger Hoheburg P.C. is dominated by Triassic sandstone on a higher plateau. Even in dry years, there is no water stress. The P.C. is from the older vines in a parcel close to Gaisböhl, the first site in which the biodynamic trials were made in 2001. A flicker of reduction still plays on the nose. The ripe pear almost has an edge of honey. The palate is juicy, smooth, with freshness and again that smidgeon of riper fruit, of something rounder, more generous. The delicate freshness hits you on the finish. A lovely coolness emanates. (Bone-dry)"
