Info about the wine
Hohen-Sülzen is located in the so-called Eisbachtal; and as the name suggests, the cold low mountain stream that rises in the Donnersberg massif exerts a considerable influence on the cooler nights. The difference between day and night temperatures is higher in Hohen-Sülzen than in the other districts.
Color
Brilliant golden yellow.
Nose
On the nose, the 2022 Hohensülzen Kirchenstück Riesling GG has a strong stone fruit flavour of apricots, mirabelle plums and vineyard peach, accompanied by earthy and stony notes that lend it a certain coolness and depth. Smoky notes and many herbal flavours enrich the fragrance and increase its complexity. A monument of a wine that makes you want to lose yourself in the nose.
Palate
Once on the palate, it grabs hold with juicy yellow fruit and citrus notes, its structure is characterised by a fine grip and salty note and encourages more with every sip. A Riesling with invigorating freshness, fantastic fruit, iodised intensity and depth. Great ageing potential, should not be drunk too young.
Be sure to aerate and taste from large glasses!
