"Fresh oak and clear, elegant and spicy fruit open the intense yet pure and fine bouquet of the 2018 Kieselberg GG "VDP. Grosse Lage". Round and lush on the palate, with fine tannin structure and attractive oak flavors, this is a firm, persistently salty and tightly woven Riesling with a long and intense finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Kieselberg means “gravel mountain” and this vineyard is on a plateau above Deidesheim. Full sun exposure leads to a high level of ripeness, but in 2018, it shows a more savory character than Langenmorgen, for example. The fruit shows the classic pit fruits here, ripe yellow peach and apricot, but the herbal, flinty character of the site is also apparent. The soils here are sandy loam with gravel and pebbles over sandstone."
