Robert Parker Wine Advocate David Schildknecht - 31 Oct 06
2005 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese** smells unusually of milk chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon, pink grapefruit, and banana. “It’s an exotic one, all right,” Christoffel acknowledges, but he and Eymael say they can’t explain that, and it doesn’t correspond with any noticeable increase in botrytis vis a vis this year’s other Auslesen. Rich, concentrated, and focused on the palate with honey and spice-covered grapefruit, it clings tenaciously with a concoction of citrus, spice, honey, and tropical fruits. This wine departs from the vintage’s usual theme of elegance and refinement. Richness, power, and a certain regal weight are what it’s about.

Germany

Germany is renowned for its diverse, high-quality wines, primarily white varieties like Riesling. Thriving in cool climates and regions like Mosel, Rheingau, and Pfalz, German Rieslings range from dry to sweet, showcasing vibrant acidity and minerality. Top producers include Weingut Egon Müller and Joh. Jos. Prüm in Mosel, Weingut Robert Weil in Rheingau, and Dr. Loosen. Weingut Keller in Rheinhessen is noted for both Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). These producers highlight the excellence and tradition of German winemaking.
