J.B. Becker, Martinsthaler Rödchen Auslese Trocken, 2022
J.B. Becker is one of the Rheingau’s most singular figures, known for uncompromising vineyard work and long élevage that favors structure and longevity. Martinsthaler Rödchen is a steep, south-facing site defined by iron-rich quartzite soils, producing Riesling of depth, power, and unmistakable mineral character. Farming is traditional and meticulous, with low yields and late harvesting to capture full phenolic ripeness while retaining balance in the wine.
The 2022 Auslese Trocken is concentrated yet controlled, offering ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and subtle herbal notes layered over a firm mineral core. The palate is dense and tightly wound, driven by vibrant acidity and dry extract. Structured and serious, with a long, resonant finish, this is a Riesling built for the table or the cellar.
Varietal: Riesling
Appellation: Martinsthaler Rödchen, Rheingau, Germany
Farming: Sustainably farmed; traditional practices
Style: White. Dry, powerful, and mineral-driven
