Beschreibung

Product description for Peter Jakob Kühn Riesling Jungfer Grosses Gewächs 2022 (bio)

Wine Information

Kühn’s portion 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. This Großes Gewächs was matured in specially purchased Stockinger wooden barrels. The wine from the Hallgartener Jungfer is aged in the same barrel every year, which means the wood influence is barely noticeable.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

The Riesling Großes Gewächs from the Hallgartener Jungfer 2022 is a complex work that combines very light, floating notes with grounded ones. It smells of blossoms, smoke, and earth, of cider apple, hay, a touch of fennel and anise, of almonds and peaches, with a hint of crushed slate.

Palate

On the palate, this Grosses Gewächs appears pure, again floating and weightless with a single anchor of stone. Everything appears flowing, delicate, lively, and smooth, fragrant yet full of energy and subtle spice. It is a Riesling that balances lime and lemon with a subtle sweetness, as well as some salt and rock, and has a long finish. An outstanding Grosses Gewächs.

Vinous

Score: 94

The 2022 Riesling Hallgartener Jungfer Grosses Gewächs is scented with dried apple, hay and lovely earthiness. The palate is serene, feather-light and smooth, giving an impression of floating, scented serenity yet deeply anchored in soil. Tender, light but also concentrated, this is an unusual style, yet I suspect it will turn into purest balm. (Bone-dry)
