Tasting notes
The 2020 Kirchspiel GG opens very clear, bright and chalky on the spicy, Chablis-like nose that indicates a lovely complex Riesling from limestone rocks. Juicy, round and intense on the palate, this is a mouthful of wine with fine tannins and a generous nature. The finish is salty and vital, very long and complex and indicates great aging potential. Tasted in Wiesbaden at the end of August 2021.

Very fine on the nose, which features elements of ripe green fruit, lemon zest and a gentle chalky mineral aroma. Quite broad, but also very lively on the palate with just a tiny remnant of CO 2 . Generous fruit with an exotic leaning which includes a fraction of bitter-orange piquancy. Healthy but not prominent acidity and rich texture take care of a harmonious balance. (MS)
