K. F. Groebe 2020 Kirchspiel Riesling Grand Cru dry, 75cL, Winebuyers, 18/20 RatingBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The south-easterly vineyard is on the middle and upper sloped of a hillside. A chain of hills to the west and north of the location protects the vineyards from cold winds. Due to the gradient and exposition of the land, the vineyards enjoy optimum exposure to the sun. Vines are more than 60-65 years old on limestone over clay marl and also some weathered chalky clay. Aged in wooden casks. The wine has a complex mineral structure and an aromatic spectrum that ranges from peaches and citrus fruits to violets, bluebells, like a woodland glade. shimmering with butterflies. This is spine-tingling: lacy, intricate, latticed gossamer. Crab apples and vineyard peach. Lome and yuzu and the cool-warm fragrance of lemongrass. Long. Hint of nuts in the finish. There is such massive complexity in this pearlescent, diaphanous tenuity of a wine that it's almost perplexing. Almost magical. Spell-binding.
