Laubenheimer Krone

Ripe pineapple nose, smells sticky, drinks very dry.

2007: youthful freshness, delicious lemony fruittones with first signs of maturation, balanced and very pleasant. Drink 2020-25. Enjoyed with Sami & Meri with Kantabrian pork stew.

petrol, lemon, lime, grapefruit, white peach, underripe apricot, honey, chalky minerality, crushed rocks. good texture, high acid, RS in check. delicious!

So much flavor wrapped up in a bright, almost too easy to drink package. No mistaking this for anything but Riesling with an exuberant nose of tangerine, petrol, and pool toys. Great body with supple fruit and mouth watering acidity. Delicious now but sure to cellar well for at least a decade.

More info: the Tesch single plot wines are always spatlese trocken (usually around 12.5%), with around 4 g/l of RS and 7.8 g/l acidity, with no oak.

Krone vineyard: south east facing slopes, dry site with soils ranging from loess limestone to weathered sandstone.

First stab at a riesling, so much flavor. Sniffy sniffs were so heavy and awesome. Not an easy drink for me at first but ended up loving it. Almost tart, not sweet.

Delightful acidity.

Pears and minerals. Went well with white fish. 2015

Germany steps up! 🇩🇪... still in Tokyo!

Admittedly not a Riesling drinker but wanted to give this a shot. Dry flavor which was different and good but did not get a lot of fruit outside of some pineapple. I would give this another try after I develop my Riesling palate.

Great dry Riesling. Slight lemon/lime notes driven by earth and mineral.
