Muller Catoir Burgergarten Riesling 2021

This stunning Riesling comes from the famous Bürgergarten vineyard on the lower slopes of the Haardt Mountains, a site that has been producing wine for over 700 years and is classified as Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) – one of the oldest and most prestigious vineyards in the Pfalz. The sandy, deep soils with yellow sandstone bedrock impart a distinctive mineral freshness and power to the wine. A true reflection of the site’s unique terroir, this Riesling is both layered and intense. On the nose, it offers effusive aromas of apricots, lemon zest, and delicate summer flowers, while the palate is succulent, graceful, and finely nuanced. The wine finishes long and filigree, with a vibrant acidity that ensures it has plenty of ageing potential. Organically grown, this dry Riesling is a perfect example of Hans-Günther Schwarz’s legacy of low intervention viticulture, creating a wine that beautifully balances richness with a refreshing zest.
