Wachter Wiesler, Blaufrankisch Eisenberg Ried Weinberg, 2021
The other single vineyard in the lineup, and a study in contrast with Ratschen. Ried Weinberg is home to the family's oldest vines, planted on deep, humus-rich, iron-rich clay-loam at a mid-slope position that brings better airflow, drainage, and sun. Where Ratschen is gravelly and firm, Weinberg is denser and plusher, its tannins fuller and more velvety — we reach for "blue Pomerol" to describe it. The iron-slate character of Eisenberg runs right through it, but here it arrives with more flesh and generosity. Native-yeast fermented, aged long in large neutral oak. From the poised 2021 vintage. Pre-Arrival, arriving mid-July.
