Kastanienbusch Riesling GG Magnum 2016 1500ml

Wine Description for Kastanienbusch Riesling GG Magnum 2016 1500ml by Ökonomierat Rebholz

Colour & Appearance

A clear, luminous golden yellow of brilliant brilliance that radiates youthful freshness in the glass.

Nose

The bouquet is a lesson in precise provenance. Bright grapefruit and lime zest meet the cool aroma of Granny Smith apple. The fruit is accompanied by a finely woven tapestry of basil, lemon balm and a hint of strawberry mint. It is a nose that combines fine detail with aristocratic restraint.

Palate

On the palate, the unmistakable signature of Hans-Jörg Rebholz reveals itself: crystalline, polished and of an almost architectural linearity. The juicy, opulent fruit is bound by a taut, gripping acidity into a tantalising corset. The wine does not feel “made”, but rather is an authentic expression of its terroir – purist and gallant in equal measure.

Finish

The aftertaste is characterised by a deep, stony minerality. It lingers with sovereign length across the palate and leaves a sense of vibrant energy and freshness.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the VDP.Grosse Lage Kastanienbusch in Birkweiler. The red slate and the distinctive microclimate of the Palatinate lend this Riesling its characteristic tension and depth.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Ideal with scallops with lemon jelly, braised black chicken with coriander lentils or complex vegetarian dishes such as tikka courgettes with chickpeas.

Special Features

The 1500ml magnum bottle provides this 2016 Großes Gewächs with the perfect stage for slow, dignified maturation and underscores the enormous ageing potential of this dry monumental Riesling.
