"Elderflower, lilac, violet, and rose are the floral notes attributed to these wines along with the aforementioned smoky minerality. These Ockfener Bocksteins are the most refined and playful of St. Urbans-Hof's wines." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Effusive nose of spring blossoms, then a blast of white tree fruits and lemony acidity on the sleek and literally brilliant palate, where the driving acidity is beautifully integrated. Impressive energy at the long, jewel-bright finish. Excellent aging potential! From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Vegan. Drink or hold." —James Suckling "A smudge of reduction still sits atop the 2021 Riesling Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett 2021, but lovely citrus spice - think grapefruit, lime and tangerine - are beautifully present, too. The palate is joyful, juicy, vivid and so energetic. All the fruit, including juicy peach among all this citrus pleasure, is boosted by sweetness but made so precise by vivid acidity. Incredibly animating and dangerously easy to drink. Gorgeous citrus length. (Medium)" —Vinous "An intriguing, off-dry white that has good complexity, with a bed of slate and flint supporting ripe apple and white peach flavors. Features flashes of tarragon and a searing spine of acidity, which brings firmness and drives length." —Wine Spectator |
