Quoting importer Terry Thiese, Muller-Catoir "may be the greatest estate in the Pfalz and one of the top few in all of Germany. Brilliant primary fruit driven wines of supernatural steely clarity and multi-layered depth. The overused word aristocratic perhaps best describes them. Extremely spritzy and highly leesy...At their best they show a force of expressiveness bordering on the supernatural." Located in the Pfalz, Gimmeldinger Mandelgarten is one of Muller-Catoir's top sites, where its loess soils foster wines with particular intensity and structure. The 2010 Spatlese is "an absurdly expressive and brilliant wine, yet also keenly searching and inscrutable," writes Theise, "it hypnotizes your palate. As always the warm smoky hay, salts, buttery pan-cooked leeks; in a sense this is all there - but is it? The twitching hyper-dynamism and thick custardy finish suggests otherwise." (2011)
