Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt - Riesling Grosses Gewachs Josephshofer 2019 (1.5L)

A View from the Cellar: 94 Points

The 2019 Josephshöfer Riesling Grosses Gewächs from the von Kesselstatt estate is simply stunning. The wine is not quite as big as the Goldtröpfchen version, coming in at 12.5 percent alcohol and showing a beautiful saltiness to its mineral component from high extract. The bouquet is precise and very refined, jumping from the glass in a mix of fresh lime, pear, salty, slate minerality, orange peel, a touch of wild yeasts and a lovely combination of violets and lavender in its floral topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still quite primary in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, superb minerality, impeccable focus and balance and a long, complex and zesty finish. I love the potential elegance of this wine, which needs a few years to blossom properly (as it is still quite primary), but will be pure magic when it is really ready to drink!
