Weingut von Winning - Riesling Kirchenstück GG 2021

The Wine Advocate: "Cultivated on sandstone, limestone and basalt, spontaneously fermented in 500-liter-oak barrels and aged on the lees for 1.5 years, the 2021 Kirchenstück Forster Riesling GG opens with a deep, rich and intense, yeasty and oaky as well as citrus-scented bouquet. Pure and linear on the palate, this is a rich and powerful, very complex and persistent dry Riesling with a tight structure and a monumental, very long and saline finish with fresh lemon aromas on the aftertaste. It's the finest of the rarest of this stylish domaine in Deidesheim. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2023."

Falstaff: "Zunächst kühl im Duft mit Aromen von weißem Pfirsich, gelbem Apfel, Johannisbeerblatt, Aprikose und gelber Zitrusfrucht. Am Gaumen gekonnt balanciert, ausgewogen, hintergründig raffiniert, attratives Spiel von Säure und reifer Frucht. Viel Spannung, Mineralik und Perspektive."
