Schloss Saarstein sits high above the Saar<br />

river, surrounded by its vineyards. Its<br />

south-southwest aspect guarantees perfect<br />

solar radiation. The grey slate warms easily<br />

and retains the heat of the day. It is thus an<br />

ideal soil for Riesling that makes up more than<br />

90% of the estate’s plantings. Christian Ebert,<br />

who is the second generation to run the estate,<br />

presented a convincing wine range of elegant,<br />

fine-boned and minerally-savoury Rieslings –<br />

along with noble sweet rarities and a well-balanced<br />

“Grosses Gewächs”. Classically good!<br />

Riesling GG<br />

Ripe Riesling nose with stone fruit, especially peach and<br />

mango plus herbs and spicy slate scents. Powerful and compact<br />

on the palate there is ripe fruit and well-integrated residual<br />

sweetness, plus mature acidity and a mineral, slatespicy<br />

base. Classic and beautiful. 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

Riesling Beerenauslese<br />

Stony coolness on the nose, light yellow fruit, also mint and<br />

stone dust, seems to exhibit defined scents. On the palate<br />

there is good concentration and fine juice, precise fruit, beautifully<br />

classic with a lively acid structure and citric freshness.<br />

The wine has good traction with a slightly salty finish. Playful!<br />

6,5 Vol.-%. cork<br />

92 2019 Serrig Schloss Saarsteiner<br />

Riesling Auslese<br />

Delicately bright with greenish reflections in the glass. A fine<br />

herbal nose of fragrant white flowers with a smoky hint. On<br />

the palate a tangy acidity with wonderfully well-balanced<br />

and integrated sweetness. A really refreshing wine!<br />

7 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

Riesling Kabinett<br />

A very delicately pale and also rather closed wine, but it really<br />

thaws on the palate. It offers delicious freshness with tingling<br />

acidity, a finely balanced sweetness and fine peach<br />

notes which are noticeable on the juicy finish.<br />

7,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

90 2019 »Grauschiefer« Riesling trocken<br />

Lots of vineyard and Saar countryside scents on the nose,<br />

followed by herbs, yellow fruit, apple and slate accents. On<br />

the palate it is juicy and spicy with slate spice nuances accompanied<br />

by fruity notes with good balance. Shows terroir<br />

and origin in a slender format. 11,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €€<br />
