Description

Product description for Peter Jakob Kühn Riesling Jungfer Grosses Gewächs 2021 (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 (Great Growth) was aged 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 2021 Riesling from the Hallgartener Jungfer opens with fresh, citrus notes mixed with a hint of smoke and tobacco. Overlying this is the scent of crushed slate and white flowers.

Palate

On the palate, the Großes Gewächs is deep, juicy, and energetic, with notes of rock, salt, lemon zest, and stone fruit. The Riesling is simultaneously creamy and silky on the palate, with taut and firm extract and acidity. The Riesling Jungfer is a precise wine with plenty of juice and impressive length.
