Riesling, Altenbourg, 2024

From the limestone-rich soils of the Altenbourg, a steep, south-west facing slope just beneath the Grand Cru Furstentum, it comes across as more reserved on the nose, with delicate aromatics. The palate is driven by a vibrant, sherbet-like acidity, delivering power and structure rather than overt fruit, with notes of grapefruit and white pepper spice leading to a long, savoury finish.
