Tasting notes
The 2022 Kastanienbusch Riesling GG is intense and ripe, with dense, full-bodied fruit, and it's warmer and smoother than cool—an authentic 2022. It's full-bodied and dense on the palate yet creamy and elegant, and it has a well-balanced finish thanks to fine, zesty acidity. Showing first light bitter and petrol notes, this is probably not a long-distance runner. The wine has withdrawn or even slightly degraded compared to the previous year. Tasted at the Rebholz Kastanienbusch/Christmann Idig/Wittmann Morstein vertical tasting in Westhofen in August 2024.

AP number 21 23. Hazelnut aroma and suave. Lots of fruit but it all ends a little tight and astringent alas. (JR)
Super-complex nose of wild herbs and licorice, plus notes of tropical flowers. Super concentrated and super-focused with an energy that knocks you back in your chair. Very long and pure finish that seems to vibrate on the palate. Made for the long term, but this is already accessible now. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
