Hattenheimer Pfaffenberg [Monopol] Riesling Grosses Gewächs

Score

95

"The 2023 Riesling Hattenheimer Pfaffenberg Monopol Grosses Gewächs, made from over forty-year-old vines rooted in calcareous loam, shimmers with lemon and peach on the nose. Its supple, ripe, juicy stone fruit notes are tempered with citrus throughout, making this cool, serene, slender and supremely elegant. This is tender, soothing, cooling and bright. (Bone-dry)"

"Cool and classical, but also blessed with excellent ripeness, this is a very serious village wine. Ample concentration and a wonderful harmony. The Mirabelle plum fruit is delightful, and the fine tannins build beautifully in the long, complex and precise finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair Choice certification. Drink or hold.
