2018 Neu-Bamberg Riesling Rotliegend Q.b.A. trocken Wagner-Stempel, Rheinhessen (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Neu-Bamberg Riesling Rotliegend Q.b.A. trocken, Wagner-Stempel

From four plots with vines averaging 30+ years of age, the 2018 Riesling Neu Bamberg Rotliegend is finer, brighter, flintier and super complex yet also super bright and elegant on the slightly smoky nose. Round and pure on the palate, this is a nervy, vital and elegant Riesling that still doesn't have the depth and complexity it will have in the near future. The three of the four plots were purchased from Weingut Fries, who farmed conventional, and Daniel didn't use the grapes for three years before he decided to integrate the fruit for his Rotliegend. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2020
