The 2022 Pechstein G.C. is clear, deep, intense and flinty on the rocky, saline and naturally reductive nose that reveals ripe and concentrated, very elegant and not all too fruity notes with fine apricot aromas. Full-bodied, refined and complex on the palate, this is a dense, utterly saline and powerful but also refined Riesling with very fine tannins intermingled with persistent salinity and mineral tension. It's a great wine that is still far too young to be enjoyed, so give it 4 to 7 years. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2023.
It is really hard to understand how the hot and dry 2022 growing season could have yielded a dry riesling with this level of mind-bending concentration and wet stone minerality. This astonishing wine conclusively proves that riesling can not only cope with climate change, but can shine in this challenging new context. And that is what it does to the highest degree at the endless finish of this. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold.
