Sven Klundt
Kastanienbusch Riesling
Pfalz, Germany
Nose seems closed. Some light peach flesh, tree bark, dusty minerals and peach skin. Palate though is electric with super high and grippy acids and lovely lemon and peach fruit. So clean and so juicy but seems a bit closed with muted aromas. Will keep following this. Nose coming alive now with stunning wet earth and deep minerals. Now this has come alive even more with serious minerality that this wine is known for. Luscious and juicy. But to be fair this is the weakest Kastanienbusch since I’ve worked with Sven.

Mar 11th, 2022Not the earliest drinking Riesling but had to for science! Nose is so pretty. Floral, honeysuckle, peach skin, melon and spice. So deep and detailed. Ripe. Palate is ripe and juicy with lovely mouthfeel and feels a bit disjointed right now. But it’s all there. Klundt’s Kastanienbusch can close hard and reemerge after 4-5 years. 13 is insane right now. 9.1 for now. But seems 17’s might be closing or closed.

Jan 30th, 2020Stunning. Rainwater qualify to the nose. Floral, spicey, peach skin, juicy, complex aroma. Dynamic, long, fresh and energetic. Terrific.

Wow. Nose leaps out of the glass. Freshly crushed rocks. A hint of apricot but just a hint. More like apricot flower.
Palate is gorgeously mineral. Great texture. So clean. Gods lemon. Not to acidic. Not too sweet.
Long elegant mineral finish.
Grand cru.
