Tasting notes
AP number 20 22. Lightly smoky/herbal impression tied in with minerally grapefruit aroma. That lovely sulphidic character that is so well judged that it is complex not intrusive. Underneath all that, there's succulent citrus fruit, fine acidity and deliciously elegant harmony and length. (JH)

Ripe fruit peaks rise up above a dense slate fog. Taut peach, dark stone and vibrant acidity on the palate. Beautiful elegance and craggy complexity. A radio signal of stones, soil and volcanic cliffs. (PS)
From porphyry soils, the 2021 Felsenberg GG offers a pure yet intense and elegant, darker toned and flinty bouquet of crushed stones with plummy notes, delicate spices and herbal notes. Full-bodied, pure and fresh on the palate, with fine tannins and ripe and refined acidity, this is a lush and round but finely tannic and aromatic Felsenberg with enormously salinity on the intense and aromatic, crisp and crunchy finish. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022.
Welcome to the smoke-hole of radically mineral dry riesling! Here is the dark side of the force, in spite of the yellow-grapefruit zest. Very slowly but steadily opens with aeration. So ripe, yet so savagely original, so precise and subtle. The finish is like licking a samurai sword from the hilt to the tip. From organically grown grapes with Fair\'n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
