Breathtakingly youthful and fresh, this dry riesling has the straightest line in the known universe! Great interplay of citrusy flavors and wet-stone minerality, driving it across the palate into the very long vibrating finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2021.

Cool, subtle notes of lemon dominate the nose. There is an uncommon transparency here. Just like juice expressed from chalky stone, there is a chalky texture and intense lemon - lovely depth but also a bone-dry, almost austere nature that unashamedly focuses on stone and soil rather than fruit. But that does not stop the lemon oil intensity and essential, soothing, calming coolness of this subtle yet intense wine.

From sandstone soils, the sample of the 2019 Riesling "Ganz Horn" GG is exciting in its intensity, precision and flintiness. The fruit is perfectly ripe and healthy and intertwined with the purity of the terroir in this enclave of the limestone cru Im Sonnenschein. Vibrantly fresh and pure on the salty and beautifully grippy palate, this is a lean and linear, very elegant and finessed but also complex and tensioned dry Ganz Horn with lingering mineral grip and mouthwatering acidity and salinity. Possibly even finer than the great 2018? See you again in September, 2019! Drink: 2025-2045.
