Picked mid-October at 96° Oechsle, the 2022 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese Schmitt is still pretty reductive on the deep, precise and flinty nose. Lush and savory on the palate, this is a refreshing, clear and vivacious, grippy and tensioned Riesling from 43-year-old vines in a south-facing but open-to-the-wind vineyard. The finish is intense and stimulating, and after a decade—or better, two—this should be an excellent gastronomic wine for even meat dishes. 7% stated alcohol plus 99.8 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2023.(SR)

The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese Schmitt is fully south-facing and located on the lower mid-slope. The nose is still dominated by funky reduction. The juicy palate unites herbal savor, candied apple, vivid red apple, Reine Claude plum and ripe peach. This is lively, aromatic, shimmering with these various fruits and adding a little herbal spice such as crushed yarrow and fine slate. Vivid and lasting with 99g/L of residual sweetness. (Sweet)(AK)

Notes

95pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 09 23. The 2022er Schmitt, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a sweet wine made from block-harvested grapes in the similarly named Lieu-Dit situated in a steep part of the vineyard (the reference to Zeltinger Schlossberg is only provided on the back label). It offers a superbly pure and delicately ample nose made of cream, pear puree, smoke, and fine spices. The wine is beautifully playful and subtly creamy on the palate and leaves an airy and gorgeously pure and persistent feel in the long finish. Despite the flavor intensity and grape ripeness, this wine remains superbly precise and alluring. 2032-2052."(09/2023)
