Tasting Note
Plant-based, floral, citrus and stone fruit scent, densely packed with minerals. Tangy lemons, green apple and quince. Freshly mown flower meadow with an exuding scent of green grass. Strong fruit acid with a well-structured body of freshness and delicacy. Almost incisive minerality under this juicy fruit packed with herbs. Firm, rather cool type. As the bottle matures, the classy Riesling reveals more of the creamy yellow fruit.
Awards
2019: James Suckling: 96/100 Points (TOP 100 WINES OF GERMANY 2020) "There’s so much peach and apricot beauty in this glass of dry riesling that you feel thankful to the power of nature that made it possible. So deep and so vibrant, but it’s the elegance that makes it shine like a diamond. Very long, silky finish that doesn’t want to let go. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." | Robert Parker: (91-92)/100 Points "The 2019 Bürgergarten Riesling is clear and dusty/stony on the pure and puristic yet aromatic and distinctive nose that shows notes of crushed stones as well as ripe and elegant fruit. On the palate, this is a juicy, round, quite concentrated, almost mouth-filling yet also pure, tight, mineral and fine dry Riesling with a certain phenolic grip and a clear, salty finish. Still terribly young. Tasted as a sample in April and June 2020." | Gault & Millau Palatinate 2021: 4/5 Grapes "Lean and rich in finesse, refreshingly crisp with a fine play of acidity and sweetness in the finale." | Eichelmann: "The Bürgergarten is already very present among the two Erste Lage Rieslings, shows yellow fruit, apricot, pineapple and herbal notes in the bouquet, is elegant and stimulating on the palate." | Ronn Wiegand: 5/5 "Two terrific dry Rieslings. The Burgergarten is medium rich, supple, and well balanced, with excellent depth and flavor (peach, honeysuckle, lime, pineapple), and a very long finish. Delicious dry Riesling and a great value; warrants at least 2 more years of aging."
