Seckinger 1 Tal Riesling 2021
Seckinger's 1 Tal Riesling 2021 is a bold expression of minimal-intervention winemaking. Sourced from the estate's coolest vineyard, this Riesling is all about purity and tension. Fermented spontaneously and aged in used barrels, it shows incredible depth, with electric acidity, fine texture, and a raw, unfiltered edge that speaks to the Seckinger brothers' philosophy.

Striking from the first sniff - there's depth and a kind of smoky elegance: bitumen, toasted sesame, buttered croissant, and bitter herbs stitched together with a salty edge. The bouquet feels rich yet composed, like something slowly unfolding rather than shouting for attention. On the palate, it's tight and racy, with chalky texture and a firm saline grip. There's real structure here, but also grace - dense, layered, and deeply savoury. It keeps evolving, never quite sitting still. A unique Riesling that commands focus without forcing it - and easily the wine that stayed with me longest that night.
