St. Antony Riesling Zehnmorgen GG ØKO

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"From vines almost 70 years old on limestone and clay, Antony's 2022 Riesling Zehnmorgen GG is fascinatingly different and indeed unique in the context of the grand cru quintet of this big player on the Roter Hang (red slope), last but not least due to its stunning freshness. This is also characteristic on the palate, where richness and juiciness are paired with ripe and concentrated yet still lush (stone) fruit, fine tannins and a long, sustainably mineral and saline freshness. The aftertaste is spectacularly hedonistic yet also full of tension and finesse. This is arguably one of the finest limestone Rieslings of Rheinhessen that year. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in November 2023. The wine is based on the oldest Riesling vines on the Roter Hang. There are large limestone rocks in the subsoil of the Zehnmorgen, and the clay content of the soil is particularly high. This monopole has never been reconstructed and therefor delivers fascinating unique wines, as the 2022 proves impressively." - 95 point
