Jonas Dostert Elbling Alte Reben

Vintage: 2021

Origin: Mosel, Germany

Grapes: Elbling

Alcohol: 10.5%

The 2021 Elbling Alte Reben from Jonas Dostert was made with fruit picked on almost 40-year-old vines and was fermented and aged along natural lines, i.e. without intervention, and was bottled after a rough filtering and with little SO2 added (30 mg/l). This bright white-yellow-colored wine proves still rather backward and only gradually reveals its stunningly complex nose made of white peach, citrusy elements, chalky minerals, fine spices, a hint of herbs, and a dash of flowers. The wine is hugely precise and elegant on the palate and leaves a superb feeling of minerals and zesty fruits in the long finish. The precision, subtlety, and complexity are truly remarkable. What a stunning success! 2023-2026
