Tasting notes
Slate, smoke and drying herbs moving in the direction of garrigue, with hints of caramel and mint. Tremendous balance and grip, but ultimately a bit rigid. A serious wine that in turn takes itself quite seriously. Long, lingering spice. (PS)

From a 40-ar-plot with old vines in the top part of the porphyry cru, the 2021 Kupfergrube GG offers a very clear, precise and aromatic but also flinty bouquet with yellow-fleshed stone fruit aromas intertwined with notes of crushed stones. On the palate, this is a round and juicy yet also very elegant and delicate Riesling with great finesse and elegance but also a hedonistic character paired with stimulating salinity and crunchy structural elements. A gorgeous wine. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022.
Still very youthful and a bit closed, but the special smokiness and flintiness of this great vineyard is already very clear. Diamond-bright and laser-beam straight, this is almost too racy and energetic, but it’s so polished that this is absolutely no problem. Noble austerity at the very long finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair\'n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
