Hans-Joseph(his friends call him “HaJo”) is a contrarian of singular mind. This rebel who swims in the Rhein river everyday and fashions a mustache of yesteryear. To quote our importer Vom Boden, “For all this depth and mysteriousness, Becker’s white wines are like Becker himself: angular, tensile with awkward elbows and muscle and sinew pulled tightly over a lean frame.”
Auslese is the ripest of grapes in the vineyard with some botrysis sneaking in, durchgegoren (completely fermented) this finishes nearly dry or feinherb but with lightning like acidity.
We agree with our importer Vom Boden who said “Wacky and pristine succulent peach notes but with a structure like a 30-foot stone wall. This will live 60 years.” If you age this for 61 years and it’s dead, it’s not our fault.
