Battenfeld Spanier Schwarzen-Herrgott Riesling Grosse Gewachs 2022 x 1

Description

“The 2022 Mölsheim Zellerweg Am Schwarzen Herrgott GG reveals a delicately chalky bouquet with blueberry, woodruff and white pepper aromas. Silky and very elegant on the palate, this is a terribly fresh and mineral, finely tannic and persistently structured Riesling with lemon fresh bitters on the finish. This is a pure, lean but intense, full-bodied Riesling made to be aged for a decade. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.” Tasted at the domaine in July 2023. – Parker , Wine Advocate

“The very smoky and flinty nose pulls you inexorably into this dense and highly structured dry riesling, but those descriptors make the wine sound austere, whereas all this is wrapped in concentrated mirabelle fruit. The entire composition makes a bold statement, particularly at the long and impressively chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.” Stuart Pigott Senior Editor –  Suckling
