Intensely flinty and expressive on the nose like a young Chablis Grand Cru, this great Pfalz dry riesling very slowly unwinds on the palate. Gigantic power and energy are pressed into a sleek silhouette, with an Amalfi lemon freshness that’s off the scale. How can you not be moved by the almost endless finish of this great masterpiece of minerality? From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

The 2023 Idig Königsbach Riesling VDP.Grosse Lage is deep, ripe, pure and intense on the nose that reveals concentrated fruit intermingled with saline notes. Full-bodied, intense and dense in its texture, this is a compact, saline and very mineral, still tight and crunchy yet stimulating Idig with fine tannins and a long, intense and sustainable finish. 12% stated alcohol. Diam 30 cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2024.

The Idig site rests on a formidable limestone rock massif, imparting a unique character to this Riesling. The focus is not on fruit (citrus notes) but on spicy aromas – imagine standing in the middle of a herb meadow. You can feel the connection to the soil. On the palate, the wine is still inaccessible and difficult to decipher. However, its length and complexity reveal that this is a long-distance runner just warming up.
