"The 2022 Riesling Dorsheimer Goldloch Grosses Gewächs is grown on Permian quartzite and pebble conglomerate. Subtle stone fruit is framed by lemon on the nose. A touch of pear peel adds a riper top note. The palate has an inherent, juicy coolness and a pithy yet soothing texture and concentration. The mouth-watering finish brings out more fruit: juicy green apple, tart Mirabelle and lemon. A gentle herbal savoriness lingers alongside citrus on the finish. (Bone-dry)"

"The 2022 Goldloch GG opens with a very fine, aromatic nose with delicate notes of stones with hints of iodine and wonderfully precise aromas of yellow stone fruit. Stimulatingly salty and zesty on the palate, this dense, firm, mineral and fruity Riesling is an excellent representative of the vintage—not only in the Nahe region but throughout Germany. Even in this hot and dry year, there is something ascetic about it, despite the gold in its name. Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2024."
