Wine information
The estate Riesling "Jacobus" is named after the history of the winery. In the vineyard and cellar, wine has been produced with respect and much knowledge for generations. The name was chosen in reminiscence of the founding father Jacobus, who founded the Kühn dynasty through his marriage in 1704 in Oestrich. The name Jacobus has remained in the family name for eleven generations.
Information on the expansion
100 % Hand harvest, gentle whole bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation with the natural yeasts, ageing for 10 months on the full lees in large wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks until the end of August.
Color
Bright, luminous golden yellow with clear green reflections.
Nose
The 2021 Riesling Jacobus is still somewhat closed due to its youth. With sufficient oxygen contact, spicy, mineral notes penetrate the nose, accompanied by citrus zest, apple, vineyard peach, yarrow, meadow herbs and fragrant elderflower.
Palate
On the palate, it appears spicy and incredibly precise, the extremely accentuated and fresh acidity unites with salty, mineral notes. The saliva flows and the taster is stimulated and inspired. This wonderful entry-level wine from the house of Kühn is, as always, a pleasure and testifies to absolute top quality. One is happy to drink a glass or two more and the cuisine can be a little more hearty and intense to match the refreshing style of the 2021 vintage.
