Elegant Pfalz Riesling from Muller Catoir

by Hugh French | Aug 16, 2022

 

Muller Catoir

"Each wine is like an essence of its grapes yet, however dense and powerful, Müller-Catoir wines possess an excellent harmony. Showered with praise during the last decade, this estate is now widely recognised as one of the country’s best."
Stuart Pigott

 

 

"Under the Mosel-born Franzen, this historic Estate has become known for producing some of Pfalz’s most ethereal and fine-boned wines... A far cry then, from the Pfalz’s upfront, stand-and-deliver norm. That said, without dialling down Catoir’s traditional “calmer mineral style” (to quote Stuart Pigott), the wines here have been gradually evolving towards a more expressive, textural and intense style.

Trendy or otherwise, there is no debate to be found in Muller Catoir’s current release... They are a bundle of energy and detail; dense, sculpted and crystalline fruits vibrate atop exuberant acidity and Haardt’s distinctive, intense core of smoky minerality. Those in the know should not hesitate. And, if you do not know the wines, there has never been a better time to familiarise yourself."
Bibendum, Importer

2020 Riesling 'MC' Trocken
Usually $45 - Special Offer $40

"Instantly appealing, sliced-pear and white-peach aromas with floral and mandarin notes. This medium-bodied dry riesling is so charming and lively, but also has very good depth and balance at the finish."

2020 Riesling Haardter Trocken
Usually $64 - Special Offer $59

"Still a bit closed, but beautifully proportioned. With aeration, this medium-bodied dry Pfalz riesling develops so many delicate spicy and floral notes. Compact structure and a long, tight finish suggest this has quite some aging potential."

2020 Riesling Haardter Burgergarten Trocken
Usually $89 - Special Offer $84

"Deep stone-fruit and citrus aromas with some blossom notes. Stunning balance of ripe yet finely nuanced fruit and elegant acidity that then tightens to a long and pointed mineral finish that takes your breath away."
95 Points

2020 Riesling Haardter Herrenletten Trocken
Usually $89 - Special Offer $84

"Very cool and fresh with notes of fresh pineapple, melon, red-fleshed vineyard peach and mint, this Pfalz dry riesling masterpiece has restrained power, but unrestrained concentration. The medium-to full-bodied palate is so precisely etched and the finish is so focused, the minerality of dramatic intensity."

2020 Rieslaner Herzog Beerenauslese
375ml Half-Bottle Extremely Limited $179

"Very dense and compact, but with sweetness at the lower end of the scale for dessert wines, this has great dried-mango, papaya and custard-apple aromas. And yet, at the breathtakingly intense finish it remains so precise and finely nuanced. Drink or hold."

2018 Rieslaner Herzog Trockenbeerenauslese
375ml Half-Bottle Extremely Limited $269

"Golden in color, this offers very, very vibrant orange marmalade and apricot conserve, as well as dried mango. Staggering acidity here. The fruit is so pure with peach and mango conserve in super sweet mode and bracing acidity. So intense that it is confrontational now and needs a lot of time to settle. This is one of the wines you can most easily age in the cellar. Dried apricot finish, seared by 18 grams per liter of acidity. From organically grown grapes. Drink now, but better after."
