Information about the wine

This wine comes from the Kirchenstück single vineyard in Hohen-Sülzen. This vineyard was already mentioned before the Thirty Years’ War, meaning it has been planted with vines for more than 400 years. The hillside location, at an elevation of 150 meters and with a 15% gradient, is characterized by clayey, calcareous stones that can be crushed by hand. This provides the vines with an excellent supply of nutrients, and the minerals from the highly calcareous subsoil are directly absorbed. HO Spanier’s oldest vineyard, planted in the 1960s, is located in the ancient core of the vineyard. After selection and harvesting by hand, the wines from the Kirchenstück were spontaneously fermented and aged in single-barrel and double-barrel barrels.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

The 2023 Großes Gewächs Kirchenstück in Hohen-Sülzen presents itself deep and juicy with notes of bitter lemon, mint, herbs, and red berries, along with some pepper, smoke, rock, and a hint of pistachios.

Palate

On the palate, the wine is fleshy, slightly smoky, yellow-spicy, and possesses a wonderful underlying energy. It becomes more apparent with every second; it can no longer be stopped; the Riesling picks up a rapid pace, becoming increasingly salty and mouthwatering. Finesse, power, and tension combine here.
