justerini & brooks tasting note

A GG of supreme delicacy and high-toned juicy fruits, lovely purity and elegance. No hard edges here but there is a lovely, slender cool-vintage feel to this 2024. Beautiful. Dellchen is the rare vineyard that combines two entirely different soil types, with up to 2m of slate over volcanic bedrock, on a steep 70% gradient. Picked in micro plots and raised in a combination of traditional German fuder and stainless steel.

critic reviews

94-96/100Anne Krebiehl,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2024 Riesling Norheimer Dellchen Grosses Gewächs was made in tiny quantities this year. It is from a porphyry site with shale cover. Flint, herb and lemon aromas come together in a most enticing combination. The palate is taut, svelte and luminous. Stony and fine, elegance runs through it like sunlight, heightening the citric freshness imbued with peppery, zesty savor. The 2024 is so linear and bright yet completely ripe. Cornellius says that they picked just 1,500 kg per hectare. (Bone-dry)
