Tasting notes
The 2023 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG is deep, intense and complex on the nose, indicating a certain richness. Full-bodied and textured on the palate, this is a dense, powerful and majestic yet also finessed Gräfenberg with fine tannins and lingering salinity. It is far too young to be enjoyed today, though. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Kiedrich, August 2025.

The youthful, sinewy showiness of past vintages has been replaced with a deep, regal beauty. Ripe grapefruit and green apple, smoky wet-stone tendrils wind their way into the complex range of aromas. Rock dust and flowers. A slipknot of acidity tightens around the citrus concentration, heightening the focus. Stunning and deep, with a sharp slate edge and a delicate, textured grip. Endless. (PS)
The 2023 Riesling Kiedricher Gräfenberg Grosses Gewächs opens slowly but teases with scents of lemon balm and chervil, followed by a touch of yeast and citrus foliage. The palate is superbly fluid, pushing forward with citric energy, life force and exuberance. The senses can only hope to catch up with this dynamic movement. That scented cloud of citrus revels in refreshing yet absolutely full-fruited briskness. This is a picture of a dry Riesling—exciting, sleek and full of joy. (Bone-dry)
