94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Wachenheimer Gerümpel P.C. is super clear, precise and fresh on the elegant, dense and substantial nose that intertwines ripe bright fruit aromas with the coolish finesse of the sandstone geology of this rather warm site. Pure, saline and tensioned on the palate, this is a dry, grippy and mouth-cleansing yet not lean Riesling that doesn't show the intensity and generosity of 2020 but the tension and purity of 2021. Stay tuned for what is still to come. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork stopper. Tasted in November 2022.

Winemaker Notes

The nose is very clear and fruity with notes of tangerine, peach, quince and grapefruit peel. On the palate, the junk has a good boost, is very gripping and has tannins reminiscent of Earl Gray tea. The wine has a lot of juice, a racy acidity and a pronounced, salty minerality. Great length and lots of potential.
