Even if he is no longer in the first flush of<br />

youth, Manfred Rothe has kept his inquisitive<br />

spirit and innate curiosity.<br />

His skin-fermented white wines made in<br />

qvevri and barrel are an arresting flavour experience.<br />

Even his estate wines already show<br />

minerality which he knows how to tease from<br />

the Triassic limestone. He makes wines that<br />

are just predestined for the table. Thus it follows<br />

that a bistro and wine garden have been<br />

added to the estate. A place of pleasure, as<br />

Rothe puts it: “Nature in its finest guise with<br />

organic quality.”<br />

93 2018 »Indigenius« Silvaner trocken<br />

Scents of wood, spices, menthol, apple and allspice. On the<br />

palate there is great volume, lively, high-quality phenolics<br />

and ripe supporting acidity. Seems very calm and balanced,<br />

young, well-judged maceration. Great potential.<br />

13,5 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€€<br />

92 2014 »Indigenius« Silvaner trocken<br />

Strong colour. On the nose wood, intense yellow-fruited aromas,<br />

mirabelle plums and balsamic spice. A supple, almost<br />

creamy onset is followed by a dry phenolic framework, mealy<br />

tannic structure which tames the alcohol very well. Still<br />

young! 13 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€€<br />

91 2019 Grauer Burgunder trocken<br />

90 2018 »Grande« Scheurebe trocken<br />

90 2019 Weissburgunder trocken<br />

89 2019 »Grande« Müller-Thurgau trocken<br />

89 2017 Muscaris brut nature<br />

89 2018 Spätburgunder trocken<br />

89 2018 »Grande« Schwarzriesling trocken<br />

91 2018 »Grande« Silvaner trocken<br />

Yeasty aroma, which is still very closed. On the palate, broad<br />

and poised with a very fine phenolic texture, ripe acidity with<br />

fullness and at the same time with delicacy and freshness. A<br />

beautiful tactile-mineral interplay on the finish.<br />

13,5 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€<br />

91 2018 »Grande« Spätburgunder trocken<br />

A berryish Pinot scent with spicy depth, truly Burgundian in<br />

style, with integrated, discreet use of wood. Juicy palate, fine<br />

tannin grain, round and smooth in the background, ripe acidity,<br />

still compact on the palate but with juiciness and minerality.<br />

13 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€€<br />

90 2019 Silvaner trocken<br />

Fresh on the nose, herbal, a little yeast and flint. Supple on<br />

the palate with fine acidity and slightly salty perceptions.<br />

A juicy Silvaner, accurate in all components, with a distinct<br />

mineral hue. 12,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €<br />
