justerini & brooks tasting note

Hailing from a plot above the winery in Hohen-Sülzen, Kirchenstuck invariably represents the most gleaming, fruit-driven wine in the range. Golden apples and citrus with some white pepper seasoning and even a touch of spearmint, the 2022 Kirchenstuck is set to delight from the beginning. Kirchenstuck is located is a relatively flat vineyard with a high proportion of limestone and loess. The Grosse Lage section is only a small portion of the site.

critic reviews

94+/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Kirchenstuck Hohen-Sulzen Riesling GG offers a pure, refined and elegant as well as juicy nose with very fine limestone notes. Supple and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied, finely tannic and saline Riesling with a long, savory and grippy finish. This is a promising wine that will gain finesse with bottle age. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023.
