Battenfeld Spanier Frauenberg Riesling GG 2021

Deep, concentrated and compact, this is an exceptionally chalky and salty dry riesling. For 2021 the body is also ample, the racy acidity matched with more than enough fullness and substance to carry it. Enormous drive at the very long, bold finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.

The 2021 Frauenberg Nieder-Flörsheim Riesling GG opens with intense and concentrated, very elegant and pure yellow fruit intertwined with chalky notes. Salty and savory, with highly stimulating and ascetic purity, this is a finely grippy and stimulating Riesling that is much more limestone than Riesling. It is enormously youthful, reduced, pure and naked and ready to be aged for decades. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.
