Battenfeld-Spanier, Riesling Zellertaler Kreuzberg GG 2025

Disclosure: I have a commercial relationship with this producer. See my ethics and disclosure policy.

There's an immediate sense of depth and ripe concentration to this peach- and apricot-filled nose. Smoky minerals and acacia transfer from the nose to the palate. Ripe yet mineral-driven, with an expansive palate impression, yet lingers with a long saline finish.
