The 2023 Riesling Ayler Kupp Grosses Gewächs No. 18 entices with a lifted zestiness and a lovely perfume of crushed citrus foliage and conifer. The slightly creamy palate features a bright, clean-cut vein of lemon that defines its brightness and freshness. Yet, it remains smooth, light-footed and graceful, showcasing slate finesse.

For the Saar, this GG is quite generous, with ample, forthright stone fruit and citrus zest character. Excellent interplay of restrained richness, crisp acidity and stony character at the long, warm finish. Drink or hold.
