The 2024 Riesling Binger Osterberg Grosse Lage is from a site that used to be the Nahe's riverbed, with alluvial soils of deep, calcareous clay, marl and pebble that sit on top of quartzite. This stands on a plateau of around 200 meters in elevation that is surrounded by several springs. Its smooth, serene and almost cooling lemony freshness is fringed with chervil. The palate is soothingly salty, with a more tender, softer aspect than its quartzite siblings. The 2024 has a wonderfully bright, lemony finish. (Bone-dry)

Very pure aromas of yellow apples and lemon blossoms in this sleek, compact and very cool beauty. Some may find the lemony acidity a bit much, but it’s part of this underrated site’s special character, just like the lemon balm and parsley flavors in the long, firm finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.
