As one of the great, longstanding estates<br />

of the Saar, we have a responsibility to<br />

preserve this cultural landscape with its<br />

steep sites and do it justice by farming in tune<br />

with nature – measures like soft pruning and eschewing<br />

herbicides, pesticides and insecticides<br />

are key to this,” the estate reports. We, however,<br />

can simply report another gratifyingly complete<br />

range – this estate also knows how to handle<br />

Spätburgunder. The Rieslings, meanwhile,<br />

are convincing, from the entry-level litre-bottle<br />

all the way to the single-site wines from the Filzener<br />

Herrenberg, the home vineyard of the estate,<br />

and the famous Ockfener Bockstein.<br />

90 2018 Ockfen Bockstein Riesling Kabinett tr.<br />

Bergamot, orange marmalade, also floral and mineral-stony<br />

tones. Silky flow on the palate, subtle sweetness, vivid but<br />

not harsh acidity, lightness with expression and some carbon<br />

dioxide. Beautiful elegance in a very restrained style.<br />

12,5 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€<br />

90 2018 Filzen Herrenberg Spätburgunder tr.<br />

Blood orange and violets show on the nose with ripe cherry,<br />

beetroot and a whiff of smoke. Soft on the palate, the lively<br />

acidity provides momentum, good quality fine tannins, still<br />

slightly furry. Sour cherry and fine tartness on the finish, stylish.<br />

13,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

93 2019 Ockfen Bockstein Riesling Auslese<br />

Fresh apple compote, brown sugar, sultana and damp stone<br />

notes. On the palate there is a fine delicacy, silky sweetness<br />

interwoven with minerality, yet neither extremely viscous<br />

nor really an isolated “sweetness”. A taut, “cool” Auslese with<br />

a lightness typical of the Saar. 7,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

91 2019 Filzen Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese<br />

A piquant slate spiciness on the nose, citrus, bergamot, vine<br />

peach. Supple on the palate, delicate sweetness, mediumweight<br />

in texture and extract, more in the light Saar style. A<br />

good mineral profile and nice interplay. 8 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

89 2019 Riesling trocken<br />

Some peach, orange, tangerine aromas. Not loud. On the palate<br />

there is a silky approach, slight sweetness, juicy acidity<br />

and a subtle mineral interplay. A slender wine with zing that<br />

shows its origin in a very typical way. 11 Vol.-%, screwcap, €<br />
