Von Winning Riesling Deidesheimer Kieselberg Grosses Gewachs 2017

Hands down one of our favorite producers of dry Riesling! A pretty sexy price considering how sought after these wines are! Normally $80...now under $60! It was love at first sip with the 2017 Kieselberg which translates to "gravel mountain". It sits on a stunning plateau above the town of Deidesheim. As Vinous describes deftly, "This displays one of the most purely mineral noses I can recall from any Pfalz Riesling, specifically an evocation of quarry dust, wet stone, oil and sea breeze. In Chablis-like fashion, these are accompanied by penetrating evocations of crushed lemon seed." Spot on description, this is incredibly mineral and stony; still very young with more to offer in the coming years, this just tingles the senses with delight and intrigue. It drinks like a bolt of electricity and lingers for minutes...world-class effort here.
