Kestener Paulinshofberg Riesling GK
Germany
Glorious and fully expressive, with a perfumed nose of flowers, lime zest and slightly confectionery citrus. Beautifully mature but still completely alive. The palate is pure and elegant, densely concentrated yet entirely driven by finesse, with gorgeous minerality, vivid fruit and that crystalline rainwater effect. It dances into a place of perfect balance. Beautiful wine.

Nose is so inviting as this is always open when young. Lemon curd, custard, cantaloupe, hint of fine honey, and huge herbs. Like a hug of dry riesling. Really complex. Wow that palate is a smoke show with that crushed rock minerality and almost no fruit. Superb energy and some melon and citrus fruit with outrageous complexity and man is this dry and almost tannic on the finish. So juicy and complex. Nose gains more with air with lovely herbals and unreal depth. A great vintage for this. Super spicey on the palate and finish. Really balanced and well made.

Nose is airy and herbal. And salty. Piquant ripe citrus. Super mineral. Rock dust. So herbal. Ripe and powerful as a result of low yields. Elegant as fuck. Juicy and pure. Salty and herbal and fruit is trying to come out but it’s not quite there yet but will come. Nose is so harmonious. Citrus rind. Lime rind. Textured and intense. So much acidity. Very very pure. So energetic and pure. Wow. Salty. Stunning wine.
