🏰 The 2020 German Riesling vintage was marked by warm, dry conditions with beneficial late-summer rains, resulting in wines with ripeness, concentration, and good acidity, showcasing balance and elegance. Kühling-Gillot's Wurzelecht Rothenberg GG 2020 is immensely mineral on the nose, with notes of stone dust, warm brick, ripe citrus fruit, orange blossom, and a hint of wood. The palate is very supple, with good substance and pithy acidity, still youthful and compact. It offers delicate stone fruits like plum and Mirabelle apricot, herbaceous aromas of green tea and spring herbs, and a taste of white pepper, anise, and rusty steel, revealing its unmistakable origin from red slate soils. 【 From own-rooted vines planted in 1934 on the Roter Hang 】 🍴 This powerful and elegant Riesling GG pairs wonderfully with fish and white meats. Consider pan-fried turbot or sole, scallops with herb butter, or roasted green asparagus with chicken and a light almond sauce. It also complements aged goat's cheese, Manchego, and Parmesan. 🥂 This wine is still youthful and compact, possessing enormous aging potential. It needs time to unfold its full potential, with some suggesting 8-10 years from the vintage before it truly unwinds, and a cellar potential of 50+ years.
