2024 Jonas Dostert Elbling Alte Reben, 750ml

Elbling suffered the greatest losses because of the frosts - around 60%. This thin-skinned grape also had issues with the harvest, so we have one of the lightest, most delicate "old vine" Elblings Dostert has ever made - also one of the rarest. I love the wine, though its extreme delicacy and lightness might be too austere for some people? It clocks in at only 9% alcohol. I like Jonas' lines about this wine: "With its prominent acidity, this wine is certainly a borderline case — and my personal tribute to a challenging vintage. A wine as a statement."
