RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...fruit preserve and honeyed richness backed by viscosity, creaminess, and high residual sugar against efficacious, lemony acidity and pronouncedly chewy phenolics.

93Wine Spectator

Tinged with botrytis, concentrating the flavors to an essence, with intense apricot, tangerine and mineral notes and a nice lingering finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Rich bouquet of muskmelon, candied apricot and exotic spices. Creamy and intense, with rich tropical fruit flavors that are both jammy and tart...

PRODUCER

Muller-Catoir is a 50-acre winery in Pfalz, in Germany’s southwestern corner. It is owned and operated by the Catoir family. The estate manager is Martin Franzen, a noted young German winemaker. The estate is planted to 60% Riesling, with the remainder planted to other white German varietals. About 130,000 bottles are produced annually. Robert M. Parker Jr. has praised the estate, writing that “anyone who doubts the potential of Rieslaner or Scheurebe has only to taste samples that have long issued, and continue to issue, from this cellar.”

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Auslese

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
