J.B. Becker Description
As much as I love Kabinett Trockens – and you know I do – I’m loath to say that the Spätlese Trocken are probably the heart of the vintage. The younger-vine bottling (this one) is explosive, fruity, airy, aromatic, all-encompassing – it sorta grabs you and shakes you around a little with citrus, layers of stone fruit and a gravelly, precious minerality. When I wrote above that the vintage was “bouncy,” this was the wine I was thinking about. So much to love in this wine.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2020 Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Spätlese trocken opens with a fascinating, elegant and aromatic bouquet with perfectly ripe stone fruit aromas (white peach) intermingled with flinty notes. Fresh and vital on the first attack, this is dense and elegant, finely fruity, seriously structured and persistently saline and mouth-salivating Walkenberg that represents classic Rheingau Riesling at its best. A fantastic dry Riesling. 12.5% stated alcohol. Glass stopper.
