Six years on the lees, from vines planted in 1989 on cool granite — the oldest Pinot Noir Griesel farms, and the most serious wine the house makes from the grape. This is a blanc de noirs: white sparkling wine pressed off black Pinot Noir grapes, which is where the sanguine, faintly meaty depth comes from. The Auerbacher Fürstenlager sits at 150 to 200 meters on a fractured hillside that gets a nightly wash of cold air draining out of the Odenwald, and the granite weathers into thin, sandy soil that gives the wine its stony core and salinity. Dosage zero means the wine was disgorged with nothing added — the six years of yeast contact, not sugar, is what gives it flesh. Griesel, working since 2013 out of the former Hessian State Winery cellars in Bensheim, only makes these single-vineyard bottlings in the vintages it considers worthy. Decant it or pour it into large glasses and give it air; there is a lot going on and it takes its time.

WINE GUIDES
German Wines
Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
