Goldberg Riesling 2019

What a brilliant nose!! Aromatic, exotic, even erotic. More like than lemon, ripe apples, honeydew melon, underripe pineapple, a bit smoky. And yet, cool, fresh, with a mineral edge. Very seductive & enticing.
Beautiful presence on the palate. A touch of creamy breadth, a hint of tannin, fresh juicy acidity and really nice depth. The fruit not overly present, just the sensation of freshness & energetic tension.
Wow! Drinking beautifully right now.

Holzfass Chardonnay 2019

Knewitz Chardonnay Holzfass 2019
Aged in used barriques and from a brilliant vintage this is a stunner!
Cool & focused on the nose with some popcorn reduction, fine herbs, a touch of toasted nuts and faint exotic fruit in the background. Enticing!
But the real magic happens on the palate - precision, depth, an electric tension between the creamy mouthfeel and the juicy, racy, mineral acidity. The limestone minerality bites through. This just begs for another sip!
Notes of sesame, fine herbs, exotic fruit - the wood adding a touch of nutty weight in the backdrop. So finely integrated. And the mineral edge towards the v. long finish
Complex yet not complicated. Elegant. Delicious.

Steinacker Riesling 2022

Lighter vs the Hundertgulden. More pomelo & lemon. Less reduction, a touch shy. Stonier, too.
Ascetic & linear on the palate with racy juicy acidity. Salty minerality, exotic spice. What length! Wow. Racy yet so drinkable. Wow!! One of the highlights in ‘22!

New GG, was an Erste Lage before (eg in 2020). Which means now the price immediately jumped by 30%

Chardonnay Reserve 2021

Edgy & a bit wild with toasted popcorn & toasted sesame + green mint. Cool. Beautiful edgy mouthfeel, with racy Riesling’esque acidity. Known fav.
Quite far from the classic Burgundian Chardonnay standard yet so delicious & drinkable.

Hundertgulden Riesling 2022

A touch of sesame reduction, darker, herbier. Grapefruit. Fresh. With edges.
On the palate with a slight funk, broader & darker again. As if with a touch of chestnut honey. But no sweetness - linear & racy. Lovely.
