Tasting notes
The 2024 Riesling Hatzenporter Kirchberg Grosses Gewächs is from red, sandy slate. The nose is shy, giving next to nothing away. The palate is beautifully zesty, with a beautiful, supple ripeness that fizzes away with its citric charm that rests in stone and lovely pithiness on the finish. (Dry)

Through the tension and freshness, this racy and focused Kirchberg makes a dramatic statement. Fascinating herbal, green chile, nutty apple and greengage plum flavors, but this only begins to describe the complexity of this remarkable wine. Very long, structured finish that combines power and coolness. From organically grown grapes with Fair\'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Cask sample. Complex notes of salted lemon, wild mint and spiced pear introduce a silky, concentrated palate. Ripe pear juice and ethereal spice – like camphor and sage – are woven together by a powerful creaminess. Leesy and long, finishing with impressive weight and persistence. (PS)
