Heitlinger 2019 Riesling Schellenbrunnen
Schellenbrunnen is a remarkable vineyard. Its steep (60 degrees) southern exposure makes it hot, yet the wines are anything but – this weighs in at 12.5%. And the heavy, iron-rich soils give rise to Rieslings of flamboyant, lime-blossom perfume. The palate, meanwhile, is a thing of singular beauty – lavishly fruited yet stony. Superb.
