Immich-Batterieberg, Enkircher Zeppwingert Reserve 2022

Produktbeskrivelse

“I have never tasted any wine like this before! Off-the-scale concentration and minerality, yet only medium-bodied with an extraordinary delicate and light-footedness that make this dry riesling as charming as it is monumental. And as it slowly aerates in the glass the citrus and stone fruit aromas slowly expand like the cloud of gas and dust after a supernova. Endless finish. Very limited production. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling 6 Nov, 2023

“Only two barrels have been filled of the 2022 Zeppwingert Reserve (a barrique and a 300-liter barrel), which combines intensity with mineral finesse and salinity. Round and rich yet also refined and saline as well as savory on the palate, this Zeppwingert has a long and saline, savory finish. This is a great and finessed Riesling that was bottled with 10.5 grams per liter of residual sugar and 11.5% stated alcohol.” R. 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.
