Josef Spreitzer

If this year's collection from young Andreas and Bernd Spreitzer narrowly misses the heights of last year's, it will not be for lack of degrees Oechsle. Yet, for all the vintage's superlatives, this year's summit, represented by 100 liters of a potential TBA gold capsule with the consistency and flavor of marmalade and warm honey, still missed by 18 degrees the all-time record Rheingau riesling must weight achieved by the Spreitzers' grandfather in 1920 and for which their Spatlese 303 is named. The Spreitzers had reasonable acid levels without resorting to any adjustment. Andreas Spreitzer credits this in part to the multiple springs and rivulets that run down from the Taunus around Oestrich, which helped mitigate the drought. Selectivity in the press house this year-not just for botrytis per se but also in order to segregate the most perfectly blemish-free healthy fruit-was taken right down to the level of individual berries.
