The 2023 Riesling Kiedricher Gräfenberg Spätlese immediately parades its exquisitely pure nature that displays the ripe, crushed flesh of yellow peach as well as peach compote. The palate has gentleness and sweetness at first, but then gorgeous acid kicks in, outlining every detail and highlighting each nuance like a laser light. Simply exquisite, simply beautiful, thrilling and oh so pure—wow, what a glorious wine. It finished at 67 g/L of residual sweetness and 10 g/L of acidity. (Sweet)

A giant Spatlese, but in terms of depth and expression, not in sheer volume or density. A deep well of stone fruit, mandarin oranges, hibiscus and gardenias. Terrific concentration at the tightly wound core on the medium-bodied palate. Then comes the extraordinary lift of wet stone acidity that flows through the very long, pristine finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
