Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,341 g. Grey slate with quartzite, warmer microclimate and more wind-protected than Seligmacher. 70- to 85-year-old vines. 100% spontaneous fermentation, 7 months on the fine lees, vinified in stainless steel. Certified organic (DE-ÖKO-022) and vegan. Intense lime and peachy notes, such ripe and pure fruit. Medium dry but balanced by the crisp citrus freshness. Rounded, generous and long. The fruit dominates but it is made more interesting by the lightly chewy texture and the mineral undertow with a citrus-zest vibrant aftertaste. This has a lot more potential complexity if you can keep it for a few years but it is hard to resist now. (JH)

The 2023 Schlossberg is pure, precise and finely flinty on the concentrated and savory nose that references ripe and fleshy mangoes as well as crushed blue slate. Round, lush and elegant on the palate, this is a sweet and sour Riesling with substance and a long, intense and structured finish. The wine doesn't shine bright at this stage but leaves so much flesh or material on the palate that its future is doubtlessly rosy. Not fully dry but also not sweet, this is simply a rich and generously textured Riesling from the Lorcher Schlossberg. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2024.
The 2023 Riesling Lorcher Schlossberg comes from a site right next to the Krone, but underneath the slate, there is quartzite. A touch of peach joins ripe Mirabelle notes on the nose, while a sense of Seville orange peel sets a counterpoint to the ripe fruit. The palate is juicy, rounded, vivid and dry, with a lovely sense of zestiness on the finish and a long line of lemon purity. (Bone-dry)
