Note di degustazione
The 2016 Kastanienbusch Riesling GG shows a clear, classic, elegant, aromatic bouquet of ripe Riesling fruit with fine earthy spice and herbal notes. Deep, dense and aromatic as well as complex on the palate, it's always fresh and cool but also supple and very juicy. Perhaps it has a little sweetness; in any case, it's round and quite pleasing but with a fine tannin structure in the pleasantly bitter finish. This is a food wine that needs a companion. Tasted at the Rebholz Kastanienbusch/Christmann Idig/Wittmann Morstein vertical tasting in Westhofen in August 2024.

I also loved the 2016 Riesling Kastanienbusch Grosses Gewächs, which has terrific balance and elegance. Tart citrus, white peach, mint, and salty minerality all flow to a medium-bodied Riesling that has a tight, backward, vibrant style on the palate that’s just begging for short-term cellaring. I love its purity and it’s the real deal.
Pale lemon. Toasty, nutty and spiced, with a touch of lentil, that builds in the glass to ripe lemon and yellow flowers. Plenty of density on the nose that delivers on the palate too, with some white peach over stone, lime and flowers. Dry, tense and dense, with plenty of length. (TJ)
Very complex passion-fruit, wild berry and herbal character. Concentrated yet very sleek and pristine. The finish is long and very mineral. This has decades of ageing potential if you can resist it. And it has just 11.8% alcohol!
