Boeckel 2021 Riesling Wiebelsberg Grand Cru
It has been many years since we last imported our favorite Boeckel Grand Cru wine, but in the banner year of 2021 it was simply not to be resisted. Wibelsberg brings a special finesse and tension to the Riesling grape. In a sense, it is the most “German-seeming” of their efforts, and it will bring elation to all true Riesling-lovers.
