"This succulent and elegant dry riesling is still slightly dominated by the flinty character from the long lees contact in oak, in the same way that the Coche-Dury white Burgundies are at this stage. Very straight and focused, this just needs some time in the bottle. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Wachenheim Godlbächel P.C. is harvested from Triassic sandstone that is naturally divided into two parts, one on a brook and one slightly higher on drier soils and vinified separately. The key to this wine is soil management, taking in these different water availabilities. It is made half in stainless steel and half in large barrel. It has a lovely herbal savor before oaky creaminess kicks in. It is one of the earliest vineyards to be harvested. This is smooth and creamy, with a lemony tinge on the nose, very charming, bone dry and most approachable, but with less length. (Bone-dry)"
