Robert Parker Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt - 25 Aug 22
The 2020 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese opens with a clear, intense and fascinating floral bouquet with (honey) blossom aromas intermingled with refreshing mineral notes of crushed stones. Round and mouth-filling yet very fine and elegant on the palate, this is a weightless Auslese with savory, crystalline and precise acidity that carries this beautifully digestible Auslese to a fine and aromatic finish. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 18 21in July 2022.

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.
