Our "star thrower," Johann Peter Reinert farms the smallest estate in our German portfolio. That means there isn’t much wine. The vineyards are tended by hand, and each vineyard site is bottled separately. These are classic Saar Rieslings: light-bodied, with piercing apple and white peach aromatics, and electrifying tension between their fresh acidity and modest sweetness. Best of all, some of these lithe, seamless wines, which grow in the most aristocratic vineyards in the Saar, are the least expensive German wines we sell. |
