100% Riesling
“The 2020 Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Auslese Trocken offers a clear, deep, elegant and aromatic bouquet with iodine and intense fruit aromas. Rich, round and intense on the palate, this is a full-bodied but elegant, balanced and even silky textured Saumagen Auslese with super ripe but elegant fruit and mouth-filling creaminess and lingering salinity. Impressive but needs time. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the Domaine in August 2022..”

“Here’s a German dry Riesling for fans of Trimbach’s Clos Ste. Hune! What a deep and fascinating nose of mango with delicate smoky and spicy notes! On the powerful palate there’s also a thread of honeycomb running through this compact and concentrated wine. The intensely chalky finish is still tightly wound with so much energy and suggests it has enormous aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2024..”
