Grand Cru Riesling ‘Berg Kaisersteinfels’ GG 2019, Weingut Leitz

A glorious wine that comes from a sun trap with well-drained soil, bringing about incredible concentration and ripeness. It offers up an intense bouquet of clementine oil, ripe peach, honey and clotted cream, leading to complex nuances of toast, mushroom, pipe tobacco and green leaves. Despite being a dry wine, its intensity and complexity are reminiscent of Sauternes. On the palate, it is much more delicate in texture than the rich aromas suggest, with a flawless, crystalline character and hints of muscat grapes and wet stones. Fantastically persistent flavours on the finish. Great now, and could age another 15-20 years.
