Tasting notes
The 2020 Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru grows on granite with a little gneiss and benefits from the coolness of the altitude. A touch of green apple and a brighter, lighter citrus shines on the nose. It's beautifully cool, utterly stony, precise and concentrated, yet with the perfume of lemon, green pear and apple. (Bone-dry)

The 2020 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling opens with warm and balanced, ripe and very elegant fruit with flinty notes. Supple, round and juicy on the palate, with fine tannins and lingering salinity, this is a quite powerful Schlossberg with a still slightly bitter finish. This will develop with more bottle age. This has 3.7 grams per liter of residual sugar and 13.6% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022.
This has rich stone-fruit aromas and a touch of something exotic, the balance of fruit and mineral freshness very impressive, the power and concentration underplayed until you get to the long, complete finish, where they show their hand strongly. Drink or hold.
