Müller-Catoir® Müller-Catoir MC Riesling 2021 – 8275269484784

“Showered with praise during the last decade, this estate is now widely recognised as one of the country’s best … Each wine is like an essence of its grapes yet, however dense and powerful, Müller-Catoir wines possess an excellent harmony.” Stuart Pigott, James Suckling

Few German estates produce an entry-level Riesling of this depth and structure. It is made entirely from hand-harvested, estate-grown Riesling, cropped at an incredibly low 35 hl/ha to mitigate the younger-vine origins. The source vineyards are all on the sandstone slopes of the Haardt hills, Mussbach, Gimmeldingen and Haardt itself.
 
Cool and linear, with lovely palate tension between the texture and acidity, this wine again lives up to its billing as one of our portfolio’s all-star values. It’s pure and fragrant with vibrant stone fruit and citrus-pith flavour. There’s a hint of savoury spice and iodine on the long, buoyant finish.
 
“The aromas of yellow apples, pears and white peaches make this sleek dry riesling very attractive. The crispness of the vintage is married to attractive fruit and impressive substance at the long, very harmonious finish.” 91 points – Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
