Note di degustazione
From ungrafted 80-year-old vines in the long-celebrated Gross Schock portion of the Euchariusberg, the 2019 Riesling Krettnacher Euchariusberg Kabinett Alte Reben now displays the site’s nickname, Gisela, in small print on the label. Remarkably for a residually sweet Kabinett, and especially one from this vintage, the initial impression is of Riesling’s fruitiness being sublimated, the nose leading strikingly with salt spray, green tea, lichen and wet stone. If anything, those herbal and mineral elements are intensified with time in the air, while serving for delightful counterpoint with bright, luscious grapefruit, lime and pear on an ultra-delicate palate, leading to a finish whose sheer persistence – to say nothing of its infectious juiciness and mouthwateringly savory complexity – is sensational.

From ungrafted vines planted in the 1930s, the single-plot 2019 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben #8 Gisela is highly refined and delicate on the pure and flinty nose that displays very fine slate aromas and delicate fruit. Generously round and salty-piquant on the sophisticated palate, this is a sublime grand cru in the filigreed yet intense and sustainable Kabinett style. The sweetness is moderate and perfectly balanced by the body and the pervasive mineral background. The 2019 is another fascinating Gisela with an enormously long, pure, piquant and salty finish. 7.5% alcohol is 1.5% less than the 2018 contained. Tasted in May 2020.
AP number 08 20 – ‘Gisela’. RS 45 g/l. More intense nose than the Arthuro from this vineyard, though not as open. The merest hint of old socks on the nose – a yeast thing? But an absolutely beautiful filigree texture and balance. Quite outstanding. (JR)
