"After the magnificent quality of the 2011 Morstein, I did not expect the Abtserde to hit the same exalted level, but it is every bit as complex and pure on both the nose and palate and even a touch longer on the finish! This is a brilliant wine in every respect, delivering a great bouquet of tangerine, petrol, blood orange, a very discreet touch of wild yeasts, lemongrass, kaleidoscopic, chalky minerality and a beautiful topnote of spring flowers with a bit of air. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and dancing, with a stunning core of fruit, gem-like precision to its focus, snappy, ripe acids and great balance and grip on the endless finish. An utterly profound young wine."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
