Pale golden yellow with a greenish tinge. Rich, smoky aromas of yellow plum, quince and sweet herbs. Unctuous apricot fruit given shape by bright, salty minerality. Juicy, generous and crisp on the persistent finish. At once rich and vibrant, this is one of the finest off-dry rieslings.

Honeysuckle and heliotrope on the nose deliver site-typical allure. The palate feels surprisingly firm, though it exudes generously juicy apple. Piquancy of apple seed and the bitter aspect of vanilla bean serve for welcome counterpoint on a lusciously fruited finish admirably transparent to wet stone. I suspect that this installment of “Fuder #6” will grow in stature given a few years in bottle.
The 2018 Batàr is perfumed and gracious, with lovely orchard fruit, chamomile and floral notes that lift effortlessly from the glass. A wine of total precision and nuance, the 2018 is simply exquisite today. Stylistically it is a bit more perfumed and lighter than is the norm.
