Barmès-Buecher Riesling Hengst Grand Cru 2021

A faint yeasty reduction lifts quickly to reveal a palate of real presence, ripe apple flesh, warm spice, and a savory undercurrent that stops just short of cinnamon. Drawn from two parcels on heavy marl and Oligocene limestone, planted in 1970 and 1990, this is Hengst doing what it does: generous weight without sacrificing freshness. Bone-dry, with a long, clean finish that keeps pulling you back.
