Unterlind Trittenheimer Apotheke Spätlese Alte Reben 2024 - the masterpiece so far from Heiner Bollig & Veronika Lintner!
High above the Middle Mosel sits the Trittenheimer Apotheke – a steep, sunny vineyard where up to 100-year-old Riesling vines thrive on the striking grey-blue Devonian slate. This VDP. GROSSE LAGE on the right bank of the Mosel is considered particularly demanding: slopes of up to 70% make all vineyard work pure manual labor – from tending the vines to selective harvesting in autumn. The name "Apotheke" (pharmacy) has nothing to do with healing powers, as some might assume. It likely derives from the regional dialect and may be connected to the Trier Abbey. In earlier times, the site was only accessible by ferry; it was not until the early 20th century that a bridge provided easier access. For the "Alte Reben" (Old Vines) Spätlese, a special tank was selected from the oldest part of the Trittenheimer Apotheke. The grapes come exclusively from over 100-year-old vines, including a proportion of very clean, finely shriveled botrytis, which adds additional depth and complexity to the selection. Heiner Bollig and his wife Veronika deliberately decided not to blend this tank with others – its unique character made blending simply too much of a shame. After gentle pressing in a traditional basket press, spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts takes place in cool stainless steel tanks. The result is a Spätlese of exceptional concentration and aromatic complexity, reflecting the character of the Trittenheimer Apotheke in every sip.
The nose is incredibly refined and radiant, a majestic bouquet of fully ripe yellow fruits – juicy apricot, fragrant mirabelle plums, exotic papaya, and a hint of flying mango. Delicately interspersed concentrated botrytis notes and subtle dried fruit nuances complement the profile, while orange peel, an implied spice of white pepper, fine nutmeg and ginger, and the subtly smoky slate minerality provide fascinating depth and complexity. The aromatics appear on the brighter side, lively yet infinitely deep – an absolutely noble expression of its vintage. On the palate, the 2024 vintage presents itself as highly concentrated, dense, and finely silky, with masterfully integrated botrytis. The structure is taut to the maximum, while the laser-sharp acidity is perfectly enveloped by the dense texture. The mineral backbone is excellently pronounced, the balance immaculate, and the finish extends for minutes – a GREAT wine that combines character, precision, and elegance at the highest level and will undoubtedly ripen enchantingly for many decades.

The clear crystals in your wine are tartrate crystals. These crystals form through the crystallization of potassium bitartrate, a natural component of wine that can form during the aging process. Tartrate crystals are completely harmless and do not affect the taste or quality of the wine. You can simply let the crystals settle and pour carefully, or remove them by decanting.
