"The 2023 Riesling Sommerberg Grand Cru was made from around 50-year-old vines in the heart of the site. A yellow pear peel aroma combines with a touch of lemon zest on the nose. This is all understated and subtle, still swinging with a tiny touch of yeast. The granite's sleekness, tautness and directness are on full show on the palate despite its milder acidity. The finish is wonderfully juicy and dry. (Bone-dry)"
Winemaker Notes:
"Grown in pure granite, grand cru Sommerberg gives us a broadly structured Riesling that takes further shape in well-seasoned, old foudres. It’s hard to imagine this beauty could taste any better than it does now, but I’ll be curious to revisit it in five to ten years to discover what becomes of its intoxicating perfume of sweet honeysuckle and sleek petrol."
Alcohol: 13.5%
