A Christmann Königsbacher Idig Riesling Grosses Gewächs is a white wine from the Pfalz village of Königsbach. This 2022 wine comes from a monopole site where the soil is dominated by weathered limestone and terra rossa. The estate has practiced biodynamic farming since 2004, focusing on low yields and hand-harvesting to ensure maximum physiological ripeness. Fermentation takes place in large, neutral oak casks to add subtle breadth without masking the citrus-driven aromatics. The 2022 season produced a wine of great tension and phenolic grip, featuring notes of lime zest, white peach and a profound saline finish.

Christmann`s 2022 Riesling Idig VDP.Grosse Lage opens surprisingly coolish and precise on the nose, which is herbaceous and spicy and provided with a hint of lime and oatmeal. Clear and fresh on the palate, with a fine limestone character, this is a vital, delicate and exciting Idig with remarkable freshness for the adventurously hot and dry vintage and a fresh, citrusy-tart finish. Tasted at the Rebholz Kastanienbusch/Christmann Idig/Wittmann Morstein vertical tasting in Westhofen in late August 2024.

Delicate stone-fruit aromas and a cool balsamic lift on the palate as well as the nose. Given time in the glass, it evolves beautifully. Citrus precision and focus. Notable power is woven with an elegant texture and smoky nuance. Tremendous length. (PS)
