Bastgen Blauschiefer Riesling 2014 is 100 percent Riesling.
Bright, clean, fresh and zesty. Grapefruit like flavors. Fruity aromas and a nice minerality, typical of the Riesling grape grown on blue slate soil. Round, rich and a very long finish.
They meticulously tend 4.5 ha (11.11 acres) of which 80% is Riesling. The soil is made of slate. Their vineyards are located in Kesten and Brauneberg, on a steep terrace, and planted to 50-year old vines. Fortunately for Bastgen, they own part of the famous Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr. The vines produce very small, ripe berries that are very tasty.
Review:
"Mona Bastgen and her husband, Armin Vogel, blend this wine from several of their organically farmed parcels in and around Bernkasteler-Kues, focusing on vines growing on blue-gray slate. It's tight and muscular, the flavors pithy and spicy, as if infused with stone. The most impressive element is how long and firmthe flavors are, pristine and elegant in shape and timbre"
