On the nose, tart citrus flirts with barely ripe apricot and peach, highlighted by lemon curd and lemon zest, with a limey quality that's sticky but fresh and gripping on the palate. The concentration from the old vines is wild, yet the wine stays more tense, more coiled, clearer and more incisive than its younger-vine counterpart.

Becker persisted in the traditional practice of only bottling his young Rieslings immediately ahead of the next harvest, and in many instances gave them even longer in cask. Viticulturally too, he resisted both the trends of his youth and the fashions that followed — preserving old vines and, when replanting was unavoidable, choosing massal selections over clones. He farmed organically without ever advertising it, at a time when the practice was almost unheard of among German winegrowers. Decades on, the wines still look fresh and convincingly mature, remaining highly sought after by sommeliers and critics worldwide.
