The Am Schwarzen Herrgott Riesling Großes Gewächs 2023 from Battenfeld-Spanier impresses with its deep minerality and clear structure. Aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, and a hint of herbs dominate the nose, accompanied by a distinctive, cool minerality typical of the barren, chalky soils of this site. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet precise, with lively acidity and a firm, mineral base that lends it backbone and depth. The saline note that runs throughout the wine adds complexity and gives it a particularly long, distinctive finish. This Riesling possesses a distinct elegance and promises great aging potential, but even in its youth it displays fascinating tension and balance.
