Description

J.B. Becker Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2016

Y'know how we speak about not giving a F***, well its exactly how Hans-Joseph or "HaJo" make his wines. These wines taste like nothing else coming out of the Rheingau (or most anywhere for that matter). He makes the kinds of wines he wants to make. And that’s about it.

Wallufer Walkenberg's dry Riesling cabinet embodies all that JB Becker is so well-known for. An absolutely dry and precise Riesling that represents its origin. After selective hand-picking follows the wine-growing with vineyard-owned yeasts in the traditional Rheingauer wooden barrel. Almost a year on the lees, the wine is very gently filtered and bottled. Maturing the bottle for some time, he now begins to reveal his finesse-rich spectrum of flavors.

Aromatic & Floral Whites

A lot of the wines in this category comes generally come from higher altitude or cooler climate regions, and often have bright acidity, balanced with fruitiness that cam come with or without some level of sweetness.

They general have perfumed floral, honeyed & spice notes. For fuller bodied styles, they often have an oiliness to them
