"This mind-blowingly elegant dry Rheingau riesling has incredibly deep citrus and floral aromas that make it hard to move on to actually tasting it. But then you descend into the deepest depths of this great terroir, the creaminess so beautifully balanced by the stony minerality and saltiness. Together, they pull you off into the dawn. From organically grown grapes with Fair Choice certification. Drink from release. Screw cap."

"The 2021 Riesling Hochheimer Kirchenstück Grosses Gewächs comes from calcareous loess and loam soils from vines planted in 1969. It opens with ripe Mirabelle, peach skin and intense juiciness. The palate tempers this with an edge of lemon zest that packs a lot of textural pithiness. Vivid concentration is bedded on yeasty richness against a salty, textured and pithy backdrop. The finish is dry and profound. (Bone-dry)"
