The 2019 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Trocken is more closed on the nose at this stage than the Gräfenberg GG and shows a pure, fresh and citrus-scented bouquet with stony aromas and notes of orange oil. Full-bodied, intense and structured on the palate, this is a juicy, still slightly phenolic but elegant and refined Riesling that will improve with bottle age. It is salty and piquant on the stimulating finish. Tasted as a sample in April 2020. SR

A fragrance of peach, apricot and vanilla promises a ripeness of fruit which the flavour does not fail to deliver. There are even some tropical notes on the palate, and notions of vanilla and cream add another luscious dimension, residual sugar has been wisely contained to leave some room for spicy and mineral nuances on the finish. With long-lingering vanilla, I’m convinced oak had more than a hand in this. Drink 2020 - 2027
