James Suckling, 95 Points
"A classic Rheingau riesling that reminds me very much of the great wines of the 1970s, this has a great interplay of lemon-curd fruit with mirabelle and dried-herb complexity. Serious depth and concentration on the full-bodied palate, fine tannins and earthy structure exactly interlocked on the powerful and complete finish. Mainly from vines planted in the 1960s. Drink or hold."
Winemaker Notes:
"Melange, as the name implies, is a blend of Rieslings from various vineyard sites around Kiedrich, Eltville and Hattenheim, The vineyard soil types are also a melange: sandy loess / loam with quartzite as well as riverbed sediments with pebbles. Spontaneous fermentation followed by ten months on the lees. 100% stainless steel tank. Notes of peach, apricot and mirabelle, with a crystalline, dry finish."
Alcohol: 12.5%
