Coolly contoured, crystalline and extremely inviting to drink, with a bright, pure finish of great depth.
Pairing
Pairs superbly with pan-fried pike-perch on a bed of herbs, fine sea fish with a light butter sauce, or delicate veal dishes with sage.

Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Luminous straw yellow with greenish highlights – clear, brilliant and youthful in the glass.
Nose
A cool, complex interplay of yellow fruit and savoury spice. Aromas of ripe peach, yellow plum, mirabelle and juicy pear combine with warm accents of turmeric and saffron. With a little air, deeper notes of cubeb pepper, cardamom, dried marjoram, sage, fresh bay leaf and ethereal lemon thyme reveal themselves, backed by a subtle touch of chopped almonds.
Palate
Taut, highly energetic and juice-driven. On the palate, the herbal and spicy nuances take centre stage, elegantly pushing the fruit into the background. An impressive interplay of striking acidity (7.4 g/l) and delicate, finely chiselled minerality creates enormous drinkability. The texture is crystal-clear, focused and vibrant.
Finish
A bright, pure-toned finish of great finesse – understated, yet with a profound, long-lasting radiance.
Terroir & Origin
The Oestricher Doosberg sits at an altitude of 120 metres with a 15% southerly slope. The wind-exposed location provides a cool microclimate and a slow ripening of the grapes. The soil is characterised by lime-rich loess loam, terrace sediments and veins of Taunus quartzite.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Single-varietal Riesling. The whole bunches were gently pressed and spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts. Maturation took place over 16 months on the full lees in traditional Stück (1,200 l) and Doppelstück casks (2,400 l). Vinified dry at 11.5% abv and 3.6 g/l residual sugar.
Special Features
The estate is cultivated biodynamically according to strict Demeter guidelines. This Grosses Gewächs demonstrates the successful handover to the twelfth generation under Peter Bernhard Kühn, whose signature style stands for even sharper contours and masterful acid structure.
