Riesling Kirchenstück GG 2024

An uncompromisingly dry Riesling that draws its impact from tension and drive rather than richness. At 12.5% vol. alcohol, it stays lean; what remains is a cool, saline core and a clarity built to last for years.

Battenfeld-Spanier farms sites in the Wonnegau and the Zellertal in Rheinhessen, where limestone soils set the tone. They give the Riesling a distinctive texture: taut, cool, and precisely saline.

A pure varietal Riesling. The estate has farmed biodynamically since 2005, regularly applying preparations 500 and 501, with lunar cycles guiding the rhythm of work in the vineyard. Fermentation happens spontaneously, ageing takes place in large wooden casks and steel tanks. Sulphur use stays minimal, and no fining agents are used. The cellar accompanies the wine rather than correcting it.

Green apple and vineyard peach, alongside lemon zest. The wine stays linear and cool, its saline drive carrying well beyond the sip without ever turning broad.

Pairs well with pan-fried pikeperch, scallops, and veal carpaccio, as well as poultry in a light sauce.

A Grosses Gewächs from biodynamic farming, grown on the limestone soils that give the estate's style its cool signature.
