From the Winemaker:
Designated Grosse Gewächs (Great Growth) by the VDP wines from Erste Lage vineyard sites must meet specific vineyard yield limits, attain sugar content of at least Auslese level, complete fermentation to dryness, and undergo vineyard inspection and taste testing. Grapes are hand harvested in October and de-stemmed before 6-12 hours of skin contact, then allowed long, slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Golden color. On the nose, apricot and minerals, clean and good balance with the notes characteristic of a dry Riesling. A dry, full bodied palate, and structured wine with depth, concentrated stone fruit and minerality. Perfect to enjoy as an aperitif or with grilled salmon, chicken, scallops in cream sauce, and with oysters. This is a special wine that can be enjoyed with complex, flavorful, and unique dishes.

"Intensely ripe yet vibrantly balanced, this late-release dry Riesling offers luscious peach and apricot flavors dusted by shards of crushed slate. It's showing glimpses of earthen minerality already, but zesty lemon and grapefruit acidity lend freshness. Lovely now but it should continue to improve through 2030"
