Description
“Cool nose with smoky, wild-herb, apricot-skin and bergamot aromas. On the palate this has the dramatic and sensual contours of a Rodin sculpture. Impressively structured core with pronounced earthy minerality. Needs some time to unfurl all the aromas, but the harmony on the palate is already very beautiful. Plenty of power at the long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.” 95 Stuart Piggott
“The 2021 Kirchenstück Hohen-Sülzen Riesling GG opens with a pure yet intensely aromatic and chalky bouquet of ripe fruits and crushed stones and salt. On the palate, this is a tight, dense, savory, limestone-driven and persistently salty Kirchenstück that is utterly chalky and tensioned and finishes with stimulating citrus-fruit notes and very fine tannins. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.” 94 Stephan Reinhardt
