The 2021 Müller-Catoir Bürgergarten Erste Lage Riesling is a beautifully precise and mineral-driven dry Riesling from one of the Pfalz’s most respected estates, sourced from the historic Bürgergarten vineyard. Elegant and finely structured, the wine showcases crystalline citrus fruit, vibrant acidity and distinctive sandstone minerality. The nose reveals lime zest, white peach and green apple alongside white flowers, wet stone and delicate smoky mineral notes, giving the wine impressive freshness and finesse.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity, silky texture and a long mineral finish. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and ripe stone fruit are balanced by saline tension and subtle savoury complexity, creating a wine that feels both energetic and refined.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2021 Müller-Catoir Bürgergarten Erste Lage Riesling is a superb dry German Riesling — crisp, mineral and beautifully balanced with excellent ageing potential. Perfect with seafood, sushi, schnitzel, pork dishes or goat’s cheese. Enjoy now through 2045+.
