Note di degustazione
The 2020 Auf der Ley GG is the first vintage that was also filled in 75-centiliter bottles instead of only magnums, but it will still be sold exclusively through the auction in Bad Kreuznach in November this year. The wine shows an intense and concentrated, flinty bouquet of perfectly ripe and super ripe fruit. Full-bodied, intense and textural on the palate, this is a dense and complex, crystalline Riesling with fine acidity and tannin structure. Very long, intense and finely bitter. Very promising. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in July 2021.

Auction wine. Located just above the Halenberg, the very old vines of the Auf der Ley produce this most prestigious of the estate’s Grosse Gewächse in a minuscule quantity only offered at auction. The nose does not try to overwhelm with exuberance but fascinates with a perfect harmony of fruit, minerality and herbal diversity instead. On the palate the tactile salty expression of minerality does take centre stage, but is well supported by notes of peach and grapefruit as well as a herbal tangent. Compact and chewy at the moment, this wine is designed for the long term. (MS)
What an incredibly graceful wine! Opens very slowly, developing very subtle floral and herbal aromas. So polished and refined, the power and concentration underplayed. Super-long, filigree, wet-stone finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
