2020 Rothenberg GG

The Geisenheim 2020 Rothenberg GG is clear and very pure on the nose that reflects the quartzite and iron-rich, stony terroir of the steep grand cru where Wegeler holds nearly six hectares with vines up to 50 years old. Porridge notes intertwined with lemon-scented notes of crushed red stones on the pure, fresh and refined, very complex nose lead to a full-bodied, very elegant and refined palate with crystalline, saline acidity and a generous texture. The finish is vital, dense and very long. The Rothenberg was aged in stücks and partly underwent malolactic fermentation, which gives it a round and pleasant texture. This is a serious long-distance runner that already tastes stunningly well, but it can be kept for at least 20 years. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in August 2022.
