Among the most rare Rieslings from the Mosel coming from a vineyard so steep that it is unbelievable people work vines in such conditions. The soil here is Devonian slate which yields expressive Rieslings like this. Lush with precise acidity, soaring minerality, and evolving complexity due to botrytized fruit and extended lees contact. In four words: dense, rich, refined and elegant.

The 2019 Röttgen GG is deep, refined and flinty on the precise nose that opens to perfectly ripe yet precise, elegant, tropical and flinty-scented Riesling fruit. Dense and piquant on the palate, this is a concentrated yet juicy, mineral, vital and nervy Röttgen with remarkable purity and freshness and a mouthwatering mineral finish with good grip and tension.
