Current condition

Shows fresh acidity and mineral complexity with youthful vibrant fruit

The 2019 vintage was highly rated for the Pfalz region with ideal ripening and balance of sugar and acidity. The GG (Grosses Gewächs) designation marks it as a top quality dry Riesling from prime vineyard Im Sonnenschein. Its high acidity and concentration support extended aging, allowing it to unfold complexity over two decades plus.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with delicate seafood (scallops, oysters), Asian cuisine, sushi, lightly spiced dishes, and goat cheese.
