The 2023 Riesling Kiedricher Gräfenberg Grosses Gewächs opens slowly but teases with scents of lemon balm and chervil, followed by a touch of yeast and citrus foliage. The palate is superbly fluid, pushing forward with citric energy, life force and exuberance. The senses can only hope to catch up with this dynamic movement. That scented cloud of citrus revels in refreshing yet absolutely full-fruited briskness. This is a picture of a dry Riesling—exciting, sleek and full of joy. (Bone-dry)

This pumps up the volume and cranks up the AC at the same time. The expansive aromas of yellow and white fruit, mandarin oranges and delicate notes of baking spices pull you into this complex and concentrated dry riesling. Terrific interplay of stony acidity with fine tannins and leesy creaminess on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Then comes the explosion of citrusy freshness in the super-long, zesty finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release.

The 2023 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG is deep, intense and complex on the nose, indicating a certain richness. Full-bodied and textured on the palate, this is a dense, powerful and majestic yet also finessed Gräfenberg with fine tannins and lingering salinity. It is far too young to be enjoyed today, though. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Kiedrich, August 2025.
