More often than not German Riesling doesn’t get enough respect or is often misunderstood. To cut to the chase, when done right, this noble varietal can achieve staggering quality and cellar for multiple decades. We’ve curated an amazing selection of alluring “Grosses Gewächs” and one library release Spatlese Trocken (Dry) that will make most Cru White Burgundy seem somewhat pedestrian and one-dimensional for a fraction of the price. The term Grosses Gewächs is used to identify some of the finest white wines of Germany and is specific to dry wines sourced from top vineyard sites.
This is an incredibly versatile food pairing wine, especially with highly seasoned ethnic cuisines. They are dry and full-bodied Rieslings that will amaze you for years to come.
The “Herrenberg”, where this wine has been growing, is one of the most famous vineyards in the Pfalz region. The mild climate produces powerful, but elegant wines with a good acidity structure. The soil is dominated by a high content of limestone which adds a very mineral character to the wine.
94 Points, James Suckling:
"I love the nose of fresh almonds and ripe, but not overripe, peach of this juicy yet very elegant Pfalz Riesling GG. Serious chalky complexity at the long and precisely structured finish. Still very young, but already so much charm.
