A 2007 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is first in the Mantlerhof’s history. The last time that Riesling Beerenauslese was harvested at this estate, was in 1999. High-toned, pungent lemon zest, peach preserves, malt and salted caramel inform this pure, creamily-textured elixir, with more than enough primary fruit acidity to keep it lively and with a lovely sense of buoyancy to its finish. It should keep well for more than a decade although, as just noted, there is no track record to go by.It is always a fascinating fun to chat and taste with Josef Mantler, who generously opens ancient bottles from his remarkable reserves for many of his visitors, especially in order to point to the complex virtues and longevity of difficult vintages. I am not sure whether 2007 will go down in his annals as difficult, but he certainly scored numerous successes this year. Mantler – who practices biodynamic viticulture – harvested most of this crop in late September and early October.Importer:Bill Mayer Age of Riesling Selections Imported by Valley View Wine Sales, Glen Ellen, CA; tel (510) 549 2444
