Ritsch, Grosses Gewächs, Riesling, 2025

Ritsch has an intricate herbal and mineral nose, fresh in style as always; river water laced with white fruits, charged acids and lots of extract and minerals; an absolutely dazzling GG that ranks amongst the finest we tasted. The soils are blue slate and quartzite. Ritsch is officially the second steepest vineyard in Europe after the Bremmer Calmont, also in the Mosel. Being open on both sides, it benefits from constant cool air circulation. Fermented and aged in traditional fuder barrels.
