Suckling om: Riesling Escheburg Ortswein

Still very young with quite a yeasty character from sur lie maturation, but also stacks of golden autumnal fruits and subtle spicy notes. Although it has a pretty racy acidity that gives it excellent tension, there’s also considerable substance and complexity. Long, intensely mineral finish. 60% from the Ellergrub site, the rest from this producer’s other top sites. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. 94/100

Parker om: Riesling Escheburg Ortswein

Since no Ellergrub was bottled due to mildew problems, the Enkircher Riesling 2021 Escheburg is based on more Ellergrub fruit than normal. The wine opens deep, pure and dense on the aromatic, fruity and well-concentrated nose due to predominantly ungrafted vines in steep top vineyards. On the palate, this is a medium-bodied, intense and elegant, well-balanced and stony Riesling with charm and calmness since it was aged in used oak barrels until September, whereas the CAI and Detonation were aged in stainless steel until late June. The finish here is persistently salty and stony. This is an excellent effort that pairs elegance and finesse with purity and salinity. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022. 93/100

Mosel Fine Wines om: Riesling Escheburg Ortswein

The 2021er Steffensberg, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, is bone-dry wine (with 4 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked on 100-year-old un-grafted vines in the terraced part of the vineyard next to the Batterieberg which has not gone through any Flurbereinigung. The wine was fermented and aged in used barrique and small oak cask for 10 months. It offers a beautiful nose made of citrusy elements, ginger, creamy pear, a hint of date, and fine spices. It proves beautifully precise and playful on the palate and leaves a long feel of tart spiciness and fruitiness in the long finish. This is a great dry Riesling. 92/100
