Incorporating the fruit of Burgreben, Tempe’s 2008 Riesling Zellenberg exhibits a huckleberry-like sense of pungent, piquant, dark berries. Scents of musk and an underlying suggestion of crushed stone add intrigue to a palpably extract- as well as glycerin-rich, yet buoyant - not to mention refreshing - palate. This should be fascinating to follow over the coming 6-8 years, if not longer. (5/ 2011)
From the importer: "From seven parcels totaling 2.14 acres in the Zellenberg commune (younger vines in the lieu-dit of Burgreben, plus some rows from the Grafenreben lieu-dit). Vines average close to 50-years-old. Full-bodied, earthy and appley, textured and mineral, this achieves the duality of being both broad and precise in flavor. Made in foudres."
