The 2021 Riesling Wiebelsberg Grand Cru is from Boeckel's substantial 2.5-hectare plot, two of which are contiguous right in the heart of Wiebelsberg. Boeckel says, “This is not Riesling; this is Wiebelsberg.” The nose combines nettle and flinty reduction to delicious effect. The fruit is of crushed white currant, star fruit, juicy and bright but with a tropical edge. The palate is serene, clear, smooth and absolutely linear, cushioning its exquisite freshness with notions of green banana, moss, nettle and a whole lot of greenish creaminess. The 2021 is a great, fine-boned, elegant and unusual Riesling from a site that deserves far more attention. (Bone-Dry)
