Tasted on 9 December 2019 by Werner Elflein

In his book “Terrassenkultur an der Untermosel” (Edition Krieger, 2003) Joachim Krieger writes about the Katteneser Steinchen: “This is also the location of the steepest part of the terraces, the steep Mursberg with its fine blue slate soil, which produces very low but sometimes very fine yield in dry years (with luxuriant peach aromas).” 2018 is a dry year, and in fact, in addition to fully ripe citrus aromas, it is also a peach scent that is both crystal clear and omnipresent, which rises from the bright yellow glass into the nose. In the mouth with juicy freshness and creamy texture. A filigree Riesling fruit dances on the tongue and counteracts perfectly the fullness reminiscent of a vintage like 2003. The residual sugar is very well balanced and should be the guarantor for an excellent maturity of the wine. Very good length.

Tasted on 19 January 2020 by Werner Elflein

Delicate yellow-green. The nose is characterized by a protruding fruitiness with scents of ripe, light, partly tropical fruits. Juicy and animating on the tongue. Nuanced, fine and elegant acidity. Gruff minerality. Very good length.

🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
