Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Josephshofer Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Mosel, Germany

點擊次數：1938

All of this year's ostensibly top dry Riesling bottlings - including the 2006 Josephshofer Riesling Grosses Gewachs - were produced in especially small quantities, due to the selection that had to be instituted. While this Riesling from the famed Kesselstatt monopole in Graach is voluminous and faintly warm like others of its immediate kin, its flavors are clearly-delineated with peach, toasted nuts, and wet stone following into a forceful finish. I could imagine it being interesting to follow for several years, although the 2005 - while its lower alcohol is welcome - happens to be in a rather fusil-smelling, awkward state at present. -We organized early,- says Annegret Reh-Gartner, -and then harvested in two weeks what we usually harvest in four.- She felt her hand was forced on the Saar when many of their vineyards were hailed on September 30, but by the time the crew was mobilized the heavy rain of October 3 was upon them.Various importers including: P.
