Merchant Reviews The best vineyards along the Saar are the most difficult in Germany to cultivate. The steep slopes of weathered slate and the extreme weather conditions give "steelier," lighter bodied wines than those from the Mittel Mosel downriver. Reinert plants his vines wide apart so that sunlight reaches the clusters, and ripen the grapes to perfection. This fine, racy spätlese from the Ritterpfad in Wawerner comes from southeastern facing slopes of decomposed Devon slate. The wine shows brilliant, steely concentration, with apple, citrus, and white peach aromatics, knit together with fine, restrained sweetness and mouthwatering acidity. -- Greg Moore, Moore Brothers Wine Company, June 21, 2008
