A Christmann Königsbacher Idig Riesling Grosses Gewächs is a white wine from the Pfalz village of Königsbach. This 2022 wine comes from a monopole site where the soil is dominated by weathered limestone and terra rossa. The estate has practiced biodynamic farming since 2004, focusing on low yields and hand-harvesting to ensure maximum physiological ripeness. Fermentation takes place in large, neutral oak casks to add subtle breadth without masking the citrus-driven aromatics. The 2022 season produced a wine of great tension and phenolic grip, featuring notes of lime zest, white peach and a profound saline finish.
