Tasting notes
TA 8 g/l, RS 2.8 g/l. Pale lemon. A nose akin to fresh-baked apple and lemon crumble, though with a flintiness that takes it back to savoury, rather than sweet. Racy and bright, with mouth-watering acidity that keeps this light and fresh. A light and bright style with fair length too. Earlier drinking, but that is no bad thing. (TJ)

Like the first rosebud of the season that has fully colored, but is only just beginning to open up, this is full of promise. Densely packed with minerals and positive tannins that are neatly wrapped in creaminess from lees contact, this is locked into its own time frame. You really need to give it a lot of air for the mirabelle, nectarine and mandarin notes to emerge. Then there’s a stunning interplay of fruit and structure through the long, very complete finish. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2021.
The 2019 Bürgergarten "Im Breumel" Riesling GG is deep, clear and pure on the aromatic, elegant and mineral nose with its ripe and concentrated aromas of yellow stone fruit. Full-bodied, round and juicy on the silky-textured palate, this is an intense Im Bremen with stewed mirabelle aromas on the finish. Very elegant and with fine tannins, this is a wine to keep. Tasted as a sample in April 2020.
