Parker about Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Old Vines Great Growth 2022
The 2022 Altenberg Alte Reben GG starts wonderfully clear on the fine, aromatic nose that is reminiscent of light stone fruit. Fresh and invigorating on the palate, this round, juicy and elegant Riesling has crystalline acidity and a still contracting, slightly drying finish and is undoubtedly built to last! Tasted in Wiesbaden at the preview VDP.Grosses Gewächs in August 2023.

Suckling over Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Old Vines Great Growth 2022
What a beautiful nose of Yamanashi white peach and mangosteen this has! As concentrated as it is elegant with a silky texture that must be tasted to be believed. Then comes the wave of slatey minerality at the very long and precise finish. Drink or hold.
