justerini & brooks tasting note

Kastanienbusch always has an inner strength that pushes non-fruit elements to the surface. Black tea, iodine and earthy notes play off fresh citrus, grapefruits, lemons and peach. Very fine and mineral, the cool vintage here producing a nicely pared-back intellectual Kastanienbusch that will make for very sophisticated long-term drinking. The great Kastanienbusch vineyard rises from 150m above sea level to over 300m and is formed of red iron rich soils that are around 320 million years old. It tends to produce complex powerful Riesling that is nevertheless transparent and full of energy. Raised exclusively in stainless steel.

critic reviews

95/100Anne Krebiehl,Vinous

The 2024 Riesling Birkweiler Kastanienbusch Grosses Gewächs is from Permian red stone. A touch of red apple skin and peppery herb appear tenderly on the nose. Its stony slenderness brings out citrus zest crushed on red rock with savor and zestiness. This tingles on the tongue and makes the mouth water. It is uncompromising, svelte and so very pure. (Bone-dry)
