Note di degustazione
The 2017 Kastanienbusch Riesling GG is very clear and elegant on the nose and exhibits aromatic lychee fruit with cool slate, salt and grated lemon peel as a counterpoint. Juicy and very elegant on the palate, with a fine texture, this is a dense, concentrated and stimulatingly salty Riesling. The 2017 is a complex, large Kastanienbusch with a lot of substance and incipient maturity. Tasted at the Rebholz Kastanienbusch/Christmann Idig/Wittmann Morstein vertical tasting in Westhofen in August 2024.

The nose offers a wealth of meadow-like herbal and floral nuances, along with intimations of zesty lemon, persimmon, earthy winter squash and piquantly pit-tinged white peach. Amazingly, there is even greater richness and grip, not to mention animating juiciness, when compared with the already enormously impressive vintage 2017 Ganz Horn. The mouthfeel is palpably extract-rich and almost plush, yet shot through with bright lemon as well as lusciously evocative of ripe white peach; the finish is not just palate-staining but positively mouth-shaking. While this offering might be a bit less nuanced than the corresponding 2016, it approaches that wine’s uncanny sense of buoyancy while delivering more than compensatory energy and sheer abundance of flavor.
On red slate. Apricot jam carved from river pebbles. Absolutely stunning. Mouthfilling. An orchestra of flavour erupting into chorus. Peach and apricots wrapped around bones carved from lime. Pure joy. Fabulous! (TC)
In order to describe the herbal notes in the nose of this wine to you properly, I would need to spend the whole evening studying them! Rose hips and wild berries, plus a hint of passion fruit. Crystalline finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Respekt certified. Drink or hold.
