    The Burg mountain above Spitz is the site of the steep and stony 1000-Eimerberg vineyard. This rich wine contrasts ripe stone fruits with a tight acidity and crisp freshness. It gives a wonderful tension that will be resolved with aging. Drink from 2017.

    The crispness is paramount here, maybe too much, meaning that the wine is very green. Of course, this is Riesling and is way too young now. For the moment, the fruit is taut and strung out, and it certainly needs 2–3 years.
