"This Riesling, a favorite among wine enthusiasts, is universally praised for its precision, brightness, and minerality: a truly memorable tasting experience!"
“How can such a mysterious labyrinth be so delightful? Because at every turn, you discover a new facet of this wine’s beauty. The incredible tension between the flinty and floral notes makes this wine remarkably lively for a dry Riesling of this level of concentration. Then comes a stunning freshness of Amalfi lemon in the extremely long and precise finish. [...]” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:
The 2023 Westhofener Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs Riesling features notes of lemon balm and chervil, deeply fragrant and delightfully herbaceous. On the palate, it bursts with freshness, like a mountain stream flowing over stone, sinking deeper and deeper into the cool limestone with its serene, luminous, and lemony aroma, and the slightest creamy edge—quite alluring. Pure, ripe lemon zest shines through on the finish. 2028–2055

About the wine:
How can a mysterious labyrinth be so delightful? Because at every turn, you discover a new facet of this wine’s beauty. The incredible tension between the flinty and floral notes in this wine makes it remarkably vibrant for a dry Riesling of this level of concentration. Then comes a surprising freshness of Amalfi lemon in the extremely long and precise finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes and Respekt-certified. Ready to drink or for aging.
Falstaff
Wine rated (2024 guide) 96+/100
About the wine:
A malty, herbaceous nose; a powerful, energetic aroma; mineral energy; dark aromas; nutmeg; and earthy notes. On the palate, it develops a broad, full-bodied, and deep structure, with a rich body that complements the spices and minerality, and impressive intensity.
