Ruppertsberg Riesling Trocken

Score

94

"What a stunning village wine. The mouth-filling juiciness (think star fruit and the ripest citrus) is backed up with ample power. Creamy front palate, then the salty minerality and animating acidity kick in and push the finish way out there. A cuvee based on the Gaisbohl GG site of Ruppertsberg. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Ruppertsberg Village Riesling trocken opens with a remarkably coolish, pure and refined, a little crunchy bouquet with bright and elegant fruit and smoky aromas intermingled with reduced phenolic notes. Lean and elegant on the palate yet with ripe and juicy fruit, this is a very fine and elegant-finishing Riesling whose savory grip and tension will be better integrated after a few years of bottle age. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025."

"The 2023 Riesling Ruppertsberg Village was almost exclusively picked in the Gaisbohl with a small addition of Nussbien. A lovely flicker of reduction on the nose leads to an immensely juicy, rounded palate. Lemon-fresh Reine Claude plums appear in the mouth with a lovely undertow of yeast. The 2023 is absolutely bone-dry and clean on the bright finish. (Bone-dry)"

"Cask sample. Pungent and mineral. Real texture on the finish. A bit like sandpapering the palate – in a good way!"

"Very attractive open nose with a wide spectrum of ripe stone fruits plus a whiff of flint adding excitement. Stunning fruit with a mineral elegance to match it on the mouth-filling yet fresh finish. Complex savory and salty finish. Nearly all this cuvee comes from the Gaisbohl GG site. Mostly wild-fermented in large neutral oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2022 Riesling Ruppertsberg Village was mainly picked in the Gaisböhl parcels that did not make it into the GG and Nussbien. Lemon peel and flint combine into an enticing, appetizing nose. Some cooling lemon balm hovers. The palate is textured with dense, ripe, juicy apple fruit, edged with lemon pith and gentler yeast. This is lip-smacking and bone-dry, really bright, bracing even. Well done. (Bone-dry)"
