A. Christmann Idig Riesling Grosses Gewächs Pfalz

Pfalz Wine Region, Germany
Single-vineyard GG from the legendary Königsbacher Idig site on calcareous clay; Pfalz's greatest Riesling parcel. Bone-dry, intensely concentrated: lime, grapefruit, white pepper, and the distinctive calcareous mineral saltiness. Less taut than Mosel GG, more broad and textural. 18 months on lees. Exceptional ageing — 20+ years.
