Gaisböhl [Monopol]:
The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf estate is the sole (monopole) owner of this top-rated site in Ruppertsberg, which has a total extent of 8 ha, of which only 5,2 ha are classified as a G.C. site. The origin of this site goes back to the late medieval era. It was classified as a First Growth in terms of the Royal Bavarian Site Classification. It is located at the foot of the Mittelhaardt mountains, and benefits from an advantageous temperate microclimate. Deposits of gravel in terraces with layers of clay in the soil provide the Gaisböhl wine with its huge body and elegant acidity, the colored sandstone ensures a very long maturation potential.

"The enveloping nose of pineapple chutney, King Alphonso mango and coriander seed pulls you deep down into this rich and mysterious dry riesling. Enormous concentration at the very clean, harmonious and silky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Ruppertsberger Gaisböhl Monopol G.C. is grown on weathered Triassic sandstone with clay-rich soils. Subtle reduction on the shy nose clouds gentle hints of tangerine. The palate is immediately juicy and salty at once, propelling forward with ripe citric intensity, making the mouth water, dancing polka rather than ballet, but dancing nonetheless. The 2022 is fresh, svelte, energetic, textured and pithy. (Bone-dry)"

"Clear, pure, aromatic and fresh on the nose, as if you were diving deep into the Atlantic, the 2022 Gaisböhl G.C. opens beautifully precise and iodine-infused on the nose that reveals intense but refined ripe peach and raspberry aromas. Very fresh and seriously structured, this is a pure and tensioned but also aromatic yet very precise and savory Riesling with playful acidity and stimulating, classic fruit. This is a gorgeous, persistently saline and tensioned Riesling in a classical style. Tasted at the Nobelhart & Schmutzig restaurant in Berlin, February 2024."
