Just a subtle note of fresh lemon zest appears on this wine's tender nose. The palate comes in delicately, filling the senses with lemon scent while the body remains toned and taut, as though it were a sublimation of the stone from which it sprang. It has power and citrus energy, despite its lithe nature. A delicious, bone-dry contradiction, the wine will evolve for many years.
From old vines in the heart of the cru, the 2019 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling Cuvée Ste. Catherine offers a deep, intense and substantial, flinty/smoky and mineral-rich bouquet with iodine aromas. Rich but refined and very elegant on the palate, this is a textured and lush Schlossberg with lingering salinity, whereas the richness, power and intensity is captured by fine tannins. The 2019 is an impressive Schlossberg that's still a bit edgy and will need some years of bottle age to gain even more finesse.
The 2020 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling Cuvée Ste. Catherine is deep, pure and intense on the nose, but at the same time, it's so charmingly elegant and fruity that it's really irresistible. Tropical fruit aromas are more discreet here than in the regular Schlossberg, and the complexity with iodine, mineral aromas is revealed only on the second and third nose. On the palate, this is a stimulating, pure, fresh and playful, salty or sappy Cuvée Ste Catherine that has great finesse and charm but perhaps less tannin tension than the 2019.
