Description
A wonderful array of aromas gradually unfolds in the glass with this still young Grand Cru. An enticing scent of exotic fruits captivates the senses, while delicate herbal spice adds depth and complexity to the bouquet. Even now, a perfect harmony between fruit, freshness, and mineral elegance is evident. On the palate, the wine reveals its full fascination: juicy, balanced, and vibrant, carried by a fine, persistent spiciness. A true liquid harmony in perfection – a pleasure that delights immediately and continues to evolve beautifully over the years.
The VDP.GROSSE LAGE designation is reserved for Germany’s best vineyards. The sites are clearly delineated parcel for parcel. A dry wine from a VDP.GROSSE LAGE is allowed to be named “Großes Gewächs”, short GG.
This GG wine descends from our best location, Oberweseler Oelsberg. On steep slopes with up to 75% incline the vines are growing right on the Rhine. The soil is marked by its intermingling of slate, loess clay and variegated sandstone. With a microclimate predestined to grow Riesling vines here develops a powerful wine with a pronounced sovereignty. The Riesling from the Oelsberg is marked by a great scent and an overwhelming character. It is less minerally rather smooth and abundant, with exotic fruit flavors and spicy notes foregrounded.
The vintage of 2024 is already ripe and a real treat. The rich Riesling has an excellent storage capability, because of its especially high quality and a distinct acidity structure. With its aging potential it can easily be stored for 20-25 years in the wine cellar.
It is up to you whether you prefer to consciously enjoy this wine pure or combine it with delicious food. This full-bodied aromatic Riesling with spicy-fruity notes suits ideally to strong meat dishes.
