Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023

Like chiseling away at sheer rock, the 2021 Müller-Thurgau Sass Rigais opens with a smoky and chalky burst of minerality that I find wildly attractive. With swirling, the palate leans more toward fruit, revealing lime zest and crushed green apples. This is silky-smooth, displaying undeniable elegance, just as a salty flourish and citrus-tinged acids effortlessly cut through its textural opulence. The 2021 finishes dry with tropical inner florals and tension that demands patience. The Sass Rigais can be enjoyed today for its potential, but further cellaring is recommended.

Vineyards at c 800 m. All in tank, 8 months on lees. Perfumed and a little grapey on the nose, and also on the palate. Notable freshness for this variety and hint of something stony/mineral on the finish. Crisp and persistent. Not your classic Müller-Thurgau. It may well age longer but I haven't tasted older vintages. (JH)
