Winery A. Christmann Königsbach Idig GG Riesling 2021

Palatinate, Germany, White wine, Riesling
0.75 l

The 2021 vintage from the Königsbacher Idig fully lives up to its role as the Riesling flagship of the A. Christmann fully lives up to it. Fine, bright fruit hovers calmly over an elegant skeleton of mineral notes. Limestone and chalk, hints of flint, plus plenty of acidity grip. Despite the cool noblesse that characterises the 2021, you can still sense the energy and tension inherent in this great wine. The subtle phenolic notes in particular play a part in this, lending the wine seriousness and gravitas. A Riesling like Daniel Craig as James Bond: lurking, unbridled power hidden behind a shell of classic elegance. Markus Hofschuster awarded it an impressive 97 points at wein.plus.
