Suckling over Kirchenstück Riesling Grand Cru 2023
Cool, elegant and flinty, the finely nuanced stone fruit slowly emerges as the wine aerates in the glass. A touch of toasty Lee's character. I love the interplay of detailed minerality, delicate stone fruit character and racy acidity on the focused, medium-bodied palate. Very long and delicate finish that doesn't want to let go of you, and you don't want to let go of it. From organically grown grapes. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor

Kirchenstück Riesling Grand Cru 2023

The Kirchenstück Riesling Großes Gewächs 2023 from Battenfeld-Spanier is a complex and elegant wine that embodies the unique characteristics of this top-quality vineyard. The nose reveals delicate aromas of ripe peach, citrus fruits, and subtle floral notes, accompanied by a clear, mineral freshness. On the palate, the wine displays impressive structure with precise acidity and intense minerality, influenced by the calcareous soils. The palate is complemented by subtle spice and saline accents, lending the wine depth and complexity. The finish is long, harmonious, and characterized by a fine, saline minerality that lends the wine additional elegance. This Riesling promises excellent aging potential and, even in its youth, displays remarkable balance and finesse.
