"If you wondered what classic Rhine wine tastes like, this demonstrates what that was a generation ago, and sometimes still is in spite of climate change. Wonderful interplay of stone and citrus fruit aromas with an intense, wet-stone minerality. Super-focused on the medium-bodied palate, the finish is very long and cool with a refreshing herbal thread running through it. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Pfaffenwies is clear, deep and pure yet also intense and concentrated on the crunchy/slatey and iodine-inflected nose that shows some gentle lemon notes and a sharp quartzite character. Full-bodied, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dense, intense and structured, still a little tannic Riesling with concentrated fruit and mineral grip and a good, finely saline and savory finish with well-dosed power. 12% stated alcohol. Diam 30 cork. Tasted in August 2024. To be released in March 2025."
