A slight edge of kerosene flickers above the glass before gently floral citrus notes appear. The concentrated palate has a key note of crisp apple freshness, aligned to zesty ripe lemon and makes for a very vivid wired refreshing wine with a very fine filigree structure. The finish is dry and utterly lip smacking. Drink through 2030.
Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
Alsace has to be one of the most fascinating regions of France, with a history which stretches back millennia, and demonstrates perfectly the kind of blended culture that can arise from being located on the border between two enormously important, yet very different countries. Indeed, being on the border between France and Germany has resulted in Alsatian wines being something of a mix between the wines of these two countries. Riesling varietal grapes are grown in enormous quantities here, and display all of their crisp, dry complexity perfectly in the famous wines of Alsace. Alongside this typically Germanic wine, Alsatian vintners also produce plenty of Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Sauvignon Vert wines, all of which are superb when it comes to expressing the finer features of the wonderful Alsatian terroir.

Very fresh, cool and appley with a hint of smoke. This is still just beginning to open up. Some serious depth in this medium- to full-bodied dry riesling, but it is also quite an austere style. The finish is long and very clean. With a little more polish, this would have been rated even higher. Better from 2019.

Vivid pale golden-tinged straw-yellow. Spicy anise, botanical herbs and menthol on the nose. Then more refined and dense than the nose suggested, featuring saline apricot and peach flavors that linger nicely. Boasts a lovely aromatic juiciness and a tactile quality but lots of refinement (6 g/L total acidity and 4 g/L residual sugar). I always find a strong spicy note of licorice in the wines of the Geisberg and it's the same this year; also, as Geisberg wines age, they tend to pick up a hint of sweetness - something that wines from the Osterberg, for example, do not do.
Winery Notes
Intense bouquet with a rich and varied aromatic scale, marked by an amazing mineral depth and overall refinement. Texture both ample and precise, with a unique dimension on tasting. The powerful and profound mineral intensity is coupled with a mature and precise acidity. Palate with great tension, intense brightness and purity. The overall framework conveys length, elegance and refinement.
