Deep, dense and subtle, this is an imposing wine, yet remains so vital and animating. Shimmering with a thousand facets, but also with a forthright, nectarine note that makes it instantly appealing. Brilliant finish that reminds us what it's like to be up in high mountains – the light, the air. Drink or hold. Stuart Pigott

The 2019 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG offers a concentrated, super ripe yet elegant and slightly flinty bouquet with raisiny notes. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, pure, fresh and tight, dry and persistently salty and structured Gräfenberg with a long and intense, beautifully tensioned and persistent, firmly structured finish with fine mineral and phenolic grip. Tasted at the domain in August 2020.

A concentrated fragrance combines the fruit of peach, apricot and mirabelle with subtle herbal and fine mineral notions. On the palate a compact substance of fruit is kept cool by refreshing acidity and a mineral expression akin to rock dust. Subtle sprinklings of herbs and spices add further complexity.A concentrated fragrance combines the fruit of peach, apricot and mirabelle with subtle herbal and fine mineral notions.
