Suckling over Frauenberg Riesling Grand Cru 2023
The Wonnegau sub-region of Rheinhessen is often perceived as being about restrained power, and that's not always the case, but this imposing wine certainly aligns with that. Lots of creaminess and richness in the middle of the medium- to full-bodied palate. Long finish with stacks of leesy depth, the mouthfeel slowly changes from soft to stony as it rolls off into the distance. From organically grown grapes. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor

Frauenberg Riesling Grand Cru 2023
The Frauenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs 2023 from Battenfeld-Spanier is an expressive wine that impressively reflects the characteristics of its site. The wine displays a clear, mineral structure, typical of the calcareous soils of the Frauenberg. On the nose, it unfolds aromas of citrus fruits, ripe stone fruit, and a subtle herbal note. On the palate, the wine is powerful and concentrated, yet elegant and precise. The lively acidity provides freshness, while the mineral notes lend the wine depth and complexity. A long, saline finish rounds off the flavor profile and makes it an exceptional representative of the Großes Gewächs wines from Rheinhessen. This vintage promises great aging potential, but it also offers plenty of drinking pleasure even in its youth.
