The 2022 Schlossberg is pure, intense and spicy on the deep, concentrated, finely flinty and iodine-scented nose that is full of ripe and dense fruit and stony aromas. Bottled with 30 grams per liter of residual sugar this is a rich and round, lush and savory Riesling intense fruit and a long, saline finish. 11.2% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023.

From party ungrafted vines that are at least 80 years old, the 2018 Lorcher Schlossberg Riesling is fascinatingly pure, fresh and flinty on the spicy, almost peppery and crunchy nose with its intense lemon, lime zest, herbal, radish, mustard and sweet fennel seed as well as floral notes. What lovey fruit concentration! Lush and generous on the palate, this is a beautifully intense and elegant, rich and persistently salty Riesling with a very long and linear finish. A great wine! 11.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 8 19 in June 2019.
