The 2022 Riesling Karthauser is from a sheltered, southwest-facing site of weathered sandstone. A beautiful spice of crushed herbs on warm stone plays on the nose, coming with a hint of fresh apple peel. The palate has a lightness and a tenderness that carries these flavors with subtlety and translucency. Bright and slender, its stony intensity becomes apparent on the finish, ringing long. (Bone-dry) Drinking Window 2028-2050.
