Tasting notes
The 2023 Riesling vom Roten Schiefer hails from the pre-harvest of the Nonnengarten and the younger vines on the Rothenpfad. Reductive smokiness wraps itself around red-cheeked peach and crushed tansy. This contains delicate aromas of dried, peppery blueberry and peach. The palate is crystalline, stony and taut but full of tingling, citrusy, herbal notes. It has wonderful spiciness on a super-taut palate. (Bone-dry)

Ortswein. Cask sample. Red spice and stone, hints of caramel and, like the Grauen Schiefer, defined by a taut, edgy thrill. Fruit finesse is not yet on the menu, rather a dense foundation of smoky stone and ginger spice. Given time, a radiant and balancing juiciness evolves. Wild, salty, long. (PS)
