Immich-Batterieberg, Enkircher Zeppwingert Reserve 2023

Produktbeskrivelse

“This is one of those wines where you have to hold on tightly, because you don’t know if you’re being pulled up into heaven or down into the Mariana Trench. Dark and light are so perfectly integrated. There’s a wealth of caramelized pear character and wild herb intensity that leave you totally bamboozled. Then comes the extraordinarily graceful and silky finish that makes it impossible to concentrate on anything else. Fermented and matured in one very well used barrique cask, so very limited production.” 100p. – Stuart Pigott, James Suckling.com

“From 100+-year-old vines, the 2023 Zeppwingert Reserve is deep, pure and slightly toasty on the nose that is reminiscent of stewed apricots. Crystalline and saline on the palate, this is a rich and powerful yet vivacious Riesling with a promising finish.”  97p. – Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker.com

Dette er Gernot Kollmans topvin, hvor der kun tildeles få kasser til hvert land. Marken er Zeppwingert, men udvælgelsen af de bedste druer fra dette fantastiske sted er endnu mere rigid end standarden for vinen fra denne i forvejen luxuriøse cuvée.
Enkircher Zeppwingert består af 8 små terrasser, med vinstokke på et godt stykke over 100 år!!. Lagring på store gamle fade på bundfaldet helt indtil august sikrer en kompleksitet, og dybde der sammen med de ekstremt lave udbytter sikrer grundstoffet til en helt igennem verdensklasse Riesling. Smertende intens, æterisk og svævende mineralsk riesling, med knust skifer, citroner og salt toner ud i en uhæmmet lang eftersmag.
