From blue marls with a high share of calcium and magnesium and aged in doppelstücks (2,400 liters), the 2022 Ried Zieregg Kår GSTK is spectacularly deep, intense and ripe on the saline and enormously mineral as well as lemony (and yeasty) nose. Full-bodied, enormously saline and mineral on the palate, this is an intense and bitter, all in all still abstract but tensioned and saline or mineral Ziregg with huge complexity and aging potential. Tasted as a sample in April 2025.

Light green yellow, silver reflections. White peach fruit delicately underlaid with lime, floral, fine tropical fruit notes, Riesling-like nuances. Taut, fine nuances of yellow fruit, somewhat austere texture, delicate pineapple, racy structure, lemony finish, purist, remains persistent, good future with certain ageing potential.

This shows wildly dark, spicy and smoky aromas of tobacco, ash, black currants, ginseng, kaffir lime leaves and citrus brightness. It’s medium- to full-bodied with deep, salty and spicy intensity. Very long, tense and savory. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
