Kirrenbourg Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg K 2018

The nose of this wine is still closed but lifted lemon zest breaks through. Tingling with lemon freshness the palate also brings a sense of stony depth and earthy roundness that speaks of 2018's generous heat. This fullness is bounded by concentrated, high-toned lemon brightness that pulsates with energy. Bold and concentrated, this wine will only improve. Drink by 2045. Anne Krebiehl MW

This is a beautiful Alsace dry riesling for the difficult 2018 vintage, brimming with candied citrus and dried peach. In spite of the generous body and a certain creaminess, the mineral acidity keeps it right on track. Long, almost silky finish. For a dry riesling, this is very food-flexible. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
