Wine Description for Riesling Berg Roseneck Grosses Gewächs 2023 1500ml Magnum by Peter Jakob Kühn

Character

The Berg Roseneck Grosses Gewächs by Peter Jakob Kühn ranks among the finest still wines of the Rheingau – a dry Riesling of unmistakable depth and precision. The magnum bottle promises not only a more festive format, but also a slower, more harmonious maturation: those with patience will be rewarded with a wine that gains in complexity and nuance over the years.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyard site Berg Roseneck belongs to the renowned Rüdesheimer Berg, one of the steepest and most sun-exposed vineyards in the Rheingau. The south-facing slate soils store the warmth of the day and give the Riesling a mineral tension that is unmistakable. The Rheingau is considered one of Germany’s most traditional wine regions – here, where the Rhine flows westward and the slopes capture the light optimally, Rieslings of classical elegance and pronounced vineyard character are created.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The Riesling is native to no other region in the world more than here. Peter Jakob Kühn, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in the Rheingau, relies on minimal intervention in the cellar and lets the terroir speak for itself. With an alcohol content of 12.5% vol. and dry vinification, this wine displays the classical tension between ripeness and freshness that characterises great Rheingau Rieslings. The Grosses Gewächs – the highest quality level of the VDP for dry vineyard wines – underscores the ambition and provenance integrity of this wine.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The vibrant acidity structure and mineral backbone make this Riesling a versatile table companion. Particularly harmonious: grilled turbot or pike-perch fillet on beurre blanc. Calf’s sweetbread with morels or a classic Wiener Schnitzel also find a congenial partner in this wine. For a festive occasion, the magnum bottle offers itself as the centrepiece of a multi-course menu – from the starter through to the cheese course.
