Tasting Notes: When all is said and done, the aromatics of this lovely wine leave no doubt about its origins: the mountain of black Devon slate that the Romans named Bacchi Ara: the “Altar of Ba... cchus” (and the deepest, coldest cellar I know in Germany). At first, this super-saturated green-gold Riesling smells of salted apricots, ripe Braeburn apples, and toasted pumpkin seeds, with fleeting aromatic suggestions of lime blossoms, Spanish broom, black truffles, and dried chiodini. On the palate, On the palate, the wine is dry and creamy, mouthfilling, salty, and vibrant, with flavors of grilled peaches, lemon oil, pink grapefruit zest, and crystallized honey, all comingled with palpable wet Devon slate minerality, in easy harmonic tension with ripe, citric acidity. And the flaky sea-salt, orange pekoe, and mint-seasoned finish goes on forever. Drink now – 2040 and beyond. Read More

It was perfect timing that brought us to Weingut Ratzenberger on a rainy afternoon in July of 2000. Our old friend, Paolo De Marchi had recommended the wines, and the Ratzenbergers had just ended a testy relationship with their famous American importer. So we tasted the thrilling, mineral-infused Rieslings that Jochen poured knowing that they were actually available to buy. We believe that despite flying under the radar of “important” German wine pundits, the Ratzenbergers should be included among the very top producers of Riesling in the world.
