Knebel 2022 Riesling Röttgen Grand Cru dry, 75cL, dry wineBy Winebuyers

Knebel 2022 Riesling Röttgen Grand Cru dry is a delicate yet powerful wine. The name 'Röttgen' refers to 'clearing', conveying the immense effort that was made when the vineyard site was prepared and vines were initially planted. The vineyard in which these Riesling grapes were grown has soil rich in loess, which makes the soil soft and able to warm up quickly, retaining its heat. The high skeletal content also provides it with strength and substance. The high iron and mineral content of the soil can be seen in the rusty brown and yellow colours of the rocks. This wine is very elegant, compact, and serious, channelling mirabelle plums and soft sage leaves, with a beautiful texture. It's long and insistent, full of quiet, flowing spirit.
