Josef Spreitzer

After having first tasted the current range this summer, I had the opportunity to see a wider selection of older rieslings in a different context with Bernd Spreitzer in the new tasting room the estate has built the better to receive the many visitors that now pass through Oestrich. The Rheingau is far from being the Napa Valley, but the family has braced for the potential onslaught. Having often said how delicately light their wines appear in their youth, almost as if they were from the Mosel, I was pleasantly surprised to witness how they gradually put on flesh and mature into rieslings very true to their origins. Their delicate beauty might fade, but their deeper character rises to the surface. Also recommended: 2011 Ostricher Lenchen Riesling Kabinett Trocken (86), 2011 Ostricher Doosberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken (86), 2011 Ostricher Doosberg Riesling Trocken Alte Reben (88), 2011 Ostricher Hendelberg Riesling Trocken Alte Reben (88), 2011 Winkler Jesuitengarten Riesling Kabinett Haltrocken (86), 2011 Ostricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken Alte Reben (88), 2011 Riesling Charta (87), 2011 Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese (89), 2011 Ostricher Doosberg Riesling Auslese (90), 2011 Ostricher Lenchen Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule (91), 2011 Ostricher Lenchen Riesling Beerenauslese (92), 2011 Ostricher Doosberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (93), 2011 Hallgartener Wurzgarten Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (94). Other wines tasted: 2011 Riesling Trocken, 2011 Riesling Halbtrocken, 2011 Riesling 101.
