"Extremely deep and refined nose with subtle pineapple, grapefruit and hibiscus aromas. The delicate flinty overtone adds a blast of energy. Stunning concentration and textural complexity, the finish sensationally long and salty. Very limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Very limited production. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Deidesheimer Kalkofen G.C. is from a sheltered site, lying lower, facing south and, despite the name, with clay soil on sandstone. There still is more reduction here on the nose. The palate, however, already shows roundness in a contoured fluid package. You know that this is going to be oily, smooth and rich. There is much drive and energy here. The citrus freshness is orange even though the finish has a lemony tang. (Bone-dry)"
