2022 Bio Weingut Maier SP Riesling "Spriesling"
Tasting note
Pale straw yellow. Inviting, fruity, yet cool nose. White peach, subtly exotic, some lime and pineapple, interwoven with floral notes. Mild acidity on the palate for a Riesling, gentle mouthfeel, rather low intensity, but not watered down. Green and bright fruit flavours: fresh apple, grapes, juicy peach. Good, fresh finish. Youthful with little complexity despite the ageing on the lees, but the wine doesn't need that to be enjoyable. Well made.
Drink through 2026.

Baden Baden is Germany's southernmost wine growing region. It stretches about 400 kilometers from north to south along the Rhine. Baden is also Germany's warmest wine region. Much like its French neighbour Alsace, its climate is heavily influenced by its location in between the Vosges and the Black Forest, shielding it from cold winds and heavy rains. Best-known for Burgundian varieties, especially Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder) and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder). More than 15,000 hectares of vineyards. Diverse soils, ranging from loess and volcanic stones in the Kaiserstuhl region to shell-limestone in Tauberfranken. |
