Riesling „Ganz Horn“ GG 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Riesling „Ganz Horn“ GG 2022 1500ml Magnum by Ökonomierat Rebholz

Colour & Appearance

Pale, sparkling golden yellow – a Riesling that promises freshness and energy from the very first glance.

Nose

Enchantingly fragrant and complex: A kaleidoscope of oranges, peach and lime, underpinned by yeasty and smoky notes. With aeration, ginger, fresh lemon balm and sage unfold. The mineral character is unmistakable – cool, profound, stony. A Riesling that already tells the story of its origins in the glass.

Palate

Slender, precise, electrifying. The wine practically dances across the tongue – citrus fruits, ripe peach, pineapple and a finely bitter grapefruit note merge into a multifaceted flavour experience. Despite its depth and juiciness, it feels light-footed, carried by just 12.5% alcohol. The acidity is vibrant, the structure flawless. A wine that fascinates even in its youth, but will reveal its true potential only in years to come.

Finish

Long, mineral, with lingering citrus freshness and salty stoniness. The aftertaste is cool and precise – a finish that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyard site „Ganz Horn“ in Sonnenschein near Siebeldingen is a protected south-facing slope at 175 metres elevation. The soil – a Pleistocene mixture of buntsandstein gravel, gravel, loam and pure quartz crystals – was formed approximately one million years ago. This geological peculiarity gives the Riesling its distinctive minerality and depth.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Riesling, hand-harvested in several selective passes. After destemming and 24 hours of skin contact, gentle pressing followed. Fermentation and five months of ageing on full lees in stainless steel tank. Biodynamic cultivation according to VDP guidelines.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Monkfish with orange and pumpkin seed crust and Riesling risotto, veal fillet in herb crust with parsnips and citrus jus or onsen egg on smoked potato cream with sage. The wine pairs brilliantly with delicate fish dishes and light meats.
