Tasting notes
The 2020 Stromberg GG is incredibly clear, bright and fresh on the coolish, northern nose, as if this was a young wine from the recent vintage. Full-bodied, refined and lush on the palate, with crystalline, mineral and saline acidity and fascinating tannin grip, this is an outstanding dry Riesling with great terroir expression yet also juicy, finessed and aromatically intense. The finish is long and powerful, very energetic and salivating. Together with the 2021, the 2020 is one of the modern Nahe Riesling legends. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022.

What a complex and refined wine this is. Stunning floral complexity, as well as intense grapefruit and bergamot notes. Concentrated and ripe, but with a firm tannic base and a ton of wild-herb character, this is an extremely expressive riesling GG. Almost silky, in spite of the profound minerality that lights up the sky at the finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair\'n Green certification. Drink or hold.
Maybe Tim Fröhlich will be horrified when I mention fresh spinach, but the fragrance is in the best possible taste, a fresh leafy expression before being cooked. On the palate this is extremely juicy but also with a kind of mineral astringency that draws in the cheeks and makes the mouth water. One could be persuaded to drink this now, although it would be sacrilege. (MS)
