2020 Bio Weingut Maier SI Riesling
Tasting note
Pale lemon yellow. Intense, slightly developed bouquet. Yellow fruit, candied lemon, orange peel, dried apricot, some honey. Full-bodied with fresh acidity in the mouth. Again ripe, slightly sweetish fruit. Ripe red apple, mandarin, apricot, salted lemon. Also dried fruit. Lightly warming, mandarin-sweet, but also citrusy and slightly salty finish of medium length. Drinking nicely now.
Drink through 2028.

| Region: |
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. |
