justerini & brooks tasting note

Super complex and refined, a nose that draws you in – less expressive on the palate, a strong mineral impression, less fruit driven compared to 2022, hewn from gravel and sandstone, the GG draws from pools of momentum and finesse. A gravel-rich monopole site of 1.9 hectares which sits within the wider Im Sonnenschein vineyard. Raised exclusively in stainless steel.

critic reviews

94/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From vines planted on colored sandstone soils between 1980 and 1985, the Siebeldingen Riesling trocken 2023 Ganz Horn GG opens with a deep, intense, herbal and saline bouquet with intense flinty as well as the fine sur lie notes that characterize the nose. Bottled in June 2024, the 2023 grand cru is intense, savory and saline on the elegant and balanced palate that reveals a creamy, very elegant and balanced texture. The finish is savory, saline and spicy, with cumin notes. This GG is from the oldest vines and was picked almost two weeks earlier than the vom Buntsandstein Riesling, right after the selections for Trockenbeerenauslese and Auslese. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025.
