Tasting notes
Hello honey! Hello also to mango, ripe apple and lime. Dry, linear, precise and punchy. There's plenty of weight on the palate, and thickly layered fruit. Finishes with slaty complexity. (RH)

The 2019 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG is clear, deep and elegant on the nose that shows a fine and flinty terroir character intermingled with an elegant, ripe and lush yellow stone fruit aroma. Round and textured on the palate, this is a full-bodied, tight and finely tannic Gräfenberg that represents a very warm and dry vintage. The finish is stimulating and saline, yet the wine is still discreet and almost too young to be enjoyed today. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Kiedrich, August 2025.
A concentrated fragrance combines the fruit of peach, apricot and mirabelle with subtle herbal and fine mineral notions. On the palate a compact substance of fruit is kept cool by refreshing acidity and a mineral expression akin to rock dust. Subtle sprinklings of herbs and spices add further complexity. (MS)
