Description

Kientzler Kirchberg de Ribeauville Grand Cru Riesling 2019Such a deep nose of lemon curd and fresh sage with just a hint of melted butter. Powerful and highly structured on the full bodied but super clean palate, this has stunning mineral intensity that builds and builds at the very sharply defined finish. Drink or hold. 96 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling. com, June 2022. 95 points, Guide des Vins, Bettane & Desseauve, 2022. 95 points, Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France, La Revue du Vin de France,

Finishing strong and faintly chalky

but still full of fruit

complex and refined bouquet with flinty aromas

s essential reading for wine lovers and wine novices

This needs time to develop its undoubtedly rich flavors

La Ca' Nova 2019 Barbaresco will tempt readers with its effusive aromatics and compelling Nebbiolo fruit

Amongst the oldest plantings in the area the vines have found a happy home in the deep alluvial soils

ck slate and Taunus quartzite soils and the deep loess in the lower slopes

and then the wine matured in neutral 228-

conical oak fermenters with around 30 days on skins

and this is of course encouraged

The 2018 vintage had some challenges in terms of rain and summer heat
