“The 2021 Zeltinger Himmelreich Auslese Anrecht opens with a very clear, intense and smoky bouquet of crushed rocks with flinty and iodine notes as well as nutty and yeasty ones. Full-bodied, lush and intensely mineral on the palate, this is a pure and elegant but juicy and refined Auslese with a long, crystalline and saline, well-structured finish. Good tension, grip and length. It's a superb Riesling of the vintage and certainly a long-distance runner. Natural cork. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022.”

“Stunning depth and concentration is married to cool pineapple and yellow grapefruit aromas. Amazing structure for a 2021 German Riesling. It defies the normal rules of balance meaning that this tastes medium-dry, but analytically is much sweeter than that. So pure and precise, this has the structure to mature for decades. Drink or hold.”
