Not that many Württemberg TNs here lately 
This is pretty cool stuff for all the acid-heads out there. A very unadulterated style which seems to be this producer’s calling card. Otto would surely prefer that I praised almost any other variety when it comes to Württemberg but I find it intriguing that Dautel produces such a neat expression of this grape. Could definitely rebuy if I come across it again.
- 2021 Weingut Dautel Bönnigheimer Steingrüben Riesling Großes Gewächs - Germany, Württemberg (14.11.2025)
Really yellow-fruited (mirabelle, karambola) on the nose with a tart edge, emerging petrol and crushed rock. On the palate has certain ripeness and concentration but is more than anything very dry, savory, firm and acidity-driven. Markedly salty and really intense with terrific tension. Not the easiest sipper, makes you crave for something fatty or creamy, but a stellar performer at the table. As I suppose could be expected from Württemberg the expression is restrained compared to most German and Alsatian Riesling but this style works for me.
