Tasting notes
The 2020 Nonnenberg is clear, precise and coolish on the well-defined, concentrated and elegant nose that shows a coolish, pre-global warming bouquet. On the palate, this is a crystalline, linear and elegant dry Riesling with lots of energy and tension as well as a fine tannin and salinity complex. The salinity and grip are spectacular on the long and refreshing finish. If you are looking for the North in Rieslings from this warming era, the Nonnenberg is the one you should consider buying. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022.

Very floral and spicy. Then compact and racy with a ton of mineral power to the medium-bodied palate. Bold, crisp and expressive finish. Excellent aging potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.
