Immich-Batterieberg, Enkircher Steffensberg 2023

Produktbeskrivelse

“This wine is young and might seem eccentric to some because the youthful and more mature elements are not yet totally integrated, but how could you not like it? The way freshness and creaminess are interwoven on the medium-bodied palate is stunning. The stone fruit and smoky aromas are fascinating. Then comes the long, silky and delicate finish.” 95p. Stuart Pigott, James Suckling.com

“From red slate soils and exclusively ungrafted massal selections, the 2023 Steffensberg Riesling is deep, pure, intense and refined on the nose that is fascinating in its purity and aromatic intensity that intermingles with saline notes of slate shards and herbal nuances. Lush and elegant on the palate, this is an intense yet refined, mouth-filling and textural, enormously savory and sustainable Riesling with spectacular length.” 95p. Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker.com

Topmarken Enkircher Steffensberg leverer i Gernot Kollmans hænder, endnu en mineralsk, elegant og intens Riesling, fra det skiferholdige massiv.
Steffensberg er ofte den mest åbne af enkeltmarksvinene fra Immich Batterieberg. Den har altid en fyldig, charmerende, letkrydret og egetræsduftende profil, hvilket på ingen måde skyldes fadlagring. Det er kun gamle foudre der anvendes, de samme der bruges til alle husets vine.
Alle druerne stammer fra meget gamle, upodede vinstokke.
