Burg Ravensburg’s elevated reputation is built on the twin pillars of Riesling and Pinot Noir, to which the predominant “Keuper” (gypsum-limestone) soils are exceptionally well suited. We blinked before ordering the difficult but excellent 2021 vintage wine, and missed it. (But see Heitlinger above, where we were in time!) Fortunately, 2022, a much easier year for Claus and his team to manage, is no slouch at all, and this snappy beauty with its keenly etched form and succulence delivers a heap of gorgeous Riesling fruit in its slender 11.5% frame. Indeed, it evokes a great Nahe wine in its mysterious, swirling aromas and depth of flavor.
