  The wine has a medium golden color and a beautiful nose and palate with lovely tropical notes, including mango, green melon, white flowers, lychee, and amazing mineral notes with a soft creamy touch. It has a medium body with a medium (+) acidity. The freshness of the acidity feels lively but not too harsh, contributing to the wine's elegant character. The wine's complexity and fruit structure are excellent, with the tropical fruit notes and stony mineral notes blending perfectly. The overall balance is fantastic. The finish is long and dry, but it feels a little tight at this point.
  This dry Mosel Riesling has a youthful feel to it, and it may be a bit tight, but it is already drinking beautifully. With the potential to become even more interesting in the future, it is worth cellaring until 2033 or enjoyable right away. Great QPR. (IG)

  bright young canary gold color, reluctant at first so this TN starts 5 hours after opening, a joyous and rich nose of melon, mango, grey stones and white flowers, despite its fullness there is a taut steely feel around the edges, on the palate a truly beautiful and unique Mosel wine, spherical fruit presence of melon, pear, passionfruit and just a hint of tart grapefruit- nicely encased in a firm slate-driven structure, the acids are quite aggressive in spirit but nicely toned down in volume, fine long steely and racy finish with a light snap of acids on the tail end, exceptionally long fragrant aftertaste with peach notes, steel, slate and flower petals, one of its greatest general attributes is a reassuring freshness- much like one gets from a fine Roero Arneis, lovely, lovely wine, surprisingly approachable now, but will need at least 5-6 years in the cellar to really come together into an irrestistible charmer.

  This wine is sourced from a portion of a 1.1 hectare monopole within the Zeppwingert. The 60-year-old un-grafted vines are planted in gray slate and quartzite soils on terraced plots, in the drier and cooler portion of the slope. The robe is a pale greenish-yellow. The nose is circumspect with aromas of white flowers, pear skin, sweet spices, and a hint of melon. The palate is concentrated and tightly wound on the attack with a flinty, tannic attack with white tea, white cherry, white pepper, and mouthwatering melon and lemon pith notes fanning out on the finish. This is deeply stony and has great verticality with great energy. Delicious now, but could use some cellaring to unwind. Dynamite, if embryonic. A thrilling wine in the making and another home run by Gernot Kollmann.
