Riesling Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Großes Gewächs
From the steepest vineyard in the Rheingau, Gunter Künstler's Riesling trocken 2022 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg GG VDP.Grosse Lage opens with a deep, intense and complex yet pure, refined and very elegant bouquet of weathered slate and salts and exciting spicy nuances. Full-bodied, intense and round, this is a rich yet elegant and finely saline, thus stimulating and even mouthwatering Riesling from one of the most exciting Riesling vineyards on planet wine. The finish is intense and generous yet also structured by fine, crystalline acidity and a filigreed and sustainably mineral backbone. This superb Riesling is probably Künstler's finest of the vintage. Surprisingly, the 2022 doesn't show any hints of drought stress, for example via bitter phenols. If at all, there is only a hint of austerity, but there is enough substance to integrate it with bottle age. 13% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.
