A stunning, bone-dry riesling for this moderate price level! Fine nose of sliced pears and honeysuckle. Stunning freshness and purity on the medium-full palate. The finish is subtlety reminiscent of Mosel. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

From younger vines and partly from sandier soils than the regular, yellow-colored Buntsandstein, the 2017 Riesling Haardt is deep, fine and ripe on the elegant and balanced nose. Full-bodied, lush and intense on the palate, this is a deep, dry, well-balanced and textured Riesling with a ripe but salty-mineral acidity and a long, well-structured and slightly salty finish with nice bitters and citrus flavors. This is an excellent vin de terroir that slowly opens up. It's an impressive wine in the lower/medium price range. Tasted in December 2019.- SR

A delicate, elegant style, showing compact and racy aromas and flavors of almond and citrus. On the leaner side for the appellation, with good energy from the racy acidity and mineral elements. Long and balanced. Drink now through 2025. 50 cases imported. — AZ
