Beschreibung

Product description for Peter Jakob Kühn Riesling Jungfer Grosses Gewächs 2018 (bio)

Wine Information

This part of the Hallgartener Jungfer lies directly above the Doosberg at around 220 meters above sea level. The soil is erosion material from the Rheingau Mountains with a high quartzite content, mixed with loess clay. Slightly inclined to the southeast, the vineyard is somewhat cooler than the Doosberg. Maturation took place in specially purchased Stockinger wooden barrels. The wine ages in the same barrel every year, which means the wood influence diminishes over the years, which is clearly noticeable in the 2018 vintage.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

The Riesling from the 2018 Hallgartener Jungfer has an intense and wild, unconstrained and unique aroma of citrus fruit and hops, tobacco and dried wild herbs, accompanied by apple peel, forest floor, moss, and mushrooms.

Palate

On the palate, this Großes Gewächs is juicy and bright, with citrus and apple fruit, bringing both fresh and mellow notes and a hint of apple peel to the palate. Added to this is a silky creaminess and a phenolic grip on the palate. The finish is all about stone and salt, blossoms and the herbal spice that was already hinted at in the aroma. The acidity adds punch and is accompanied by a deeply rooted minerality.
