Mosel Fine Wines - 2020 Westhofen KIRCHSPIEL Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Klaus Peter Keller

The 2020er Kirchspiel Riesling, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a bone-dry wine made from vines planted in 1964 in the upper part of the vineyard. It offers a most engaging and deeply compelling and fresh nose of magnificent fresh and pure herbal and spicy elements, lime, grapefruit zest, and mint. The wine proves very pure, intensely energic, and razor sharp (without being aggressive) on the palate. It then develops more density and presence, yet this density is well wrapped into a core of vibrating acidity and salty elements. The finish is extremely long, finely aromatic, and fully bone-dry. This is one of the most beautiful renditions of Kirchspiel we have ever tasted. This great filigreed and refined expression so typical of the vineyard is a huge success in 2020. 2028-2045. - Sep. 2021
