"The 2020 Riesling Besigheim Wurmberg GG comes from the warmest (and earliest) site of the domaine and is located on Muschelkalk limestone soils at 200 meters in altitude. It is pure and stony on the deep, dense and aromatic nose that reveals limestone and lemon juice aromas. This is a full-bodied, vital and finely racy dry Riesling with tight tannins and intense, pretty generous fruit and mouth-filling juiciness. In sum, this is a generous Riesling with complex purity and a long, intense and still tannic finish. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in April 2022."
