TASTING NOTES

The area receives a considerable amount of sunlight due to its predominantly south and south-west facing slopes towards the Rhine. The Pfaffenwies vineyards are characterized by the humid warmth of the Rhine, shallow, stony Hunsrück slate and Taunus quartzite soils and the deep loess in the lower slopes. – Theresa Breuer

Scores

96/100

This sleek and tightly wound beauty has the Amalfi-lemon, lime-zest and wild-herb aromas we associate with the top vineyard sites at the northern extremity of the Rheingau. Only medium- bodied, but intensely mineral, this is bristling with racy energy and wet-stone minerality through the long, very focused finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold’

From Lorch, the 2022 Pfaffenwies offers a clear, refined and intense bouquet with clear, bright fruit aromas intertwined with delicate flinty notes of weathered slate. Full-bodied and mouthfilling on the palate, this is a pure, elegant, well-balanced but also tensioned and savory-finishing Riesling from the Pfaffenwies. 11.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023.
