Importer notes: "The Lamm is a small subsection of the Heiligenstein, an outcropping on the southern side. Barbara is farming only a tiny section here, less than 0.3 hectares of this site! This bottling represents one of the last pickings; only the most perfect fruit was used; the wine fermented in four different barrels from France – after fermentation all the barrels were blended together into a larger stainless steel tank so that the wood quality is not too strong. Barbara’s Lamm showcases the most detailed array of dried herbs, for me the signature of great Grüner – freshly cut grass, lemon thyme, dried coriander, cracked pepper, but also a soaring florality. Even the darker-fruited power of Grüner here is lifted by pushing citrus fruit, edging the riper melon and warmer mid-palate, providing definition and energy. Richer, more dense with glycerin, fuller on the palate, this nonetheless has a beautiful energy, it is driven and has great persistence, yet leaves the palate clean and refreshed. Monumental Grüner – if you love the grape it’ll remind you why… and if you are in doubt, it will remind you of the potential."
