Birkweiler, Riesling, vom Rotliegenden, Trocken, 2023
The kernel of spicy exotic fruits and fine, animated acidity and minerality bears more than a passing resemblance to its older sibling – a great buy. This wine comes from the first pick across the great Kastanienbusch site; thus, all the grapes in this village wine are technically eligible for GG status. Raised exclusively in stainless steel.
critic reviews
The 2023 Birkweiler vom Rotliegenden Riesling trocken opens with a deep, pure, clear and smoky nose of lemon leaves, woodruff and herbs as well as notes of crushed and milled, iron-rich rocks. Full-bodied, round and dense on the palate, this is an intense, saline and crystalline, remarkably complex and finely tannic Riesling with a savory and saline finish. This is a great personality thanks to older vines and some almost 20 years old. 13% stated alcohol. Diam 10 cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025.
