Tasting notes
The 2019 Riesling Idig VDP.Grosse Lage has very clear, open, elegant and limestone-influenced fruit with a fine herbal note and first notes of bottle maturity. Playful, spicy and stimulatingly salty as well as bitter on the tart and gastronomic finish, this is an Idig in the classic style: elegant, firm and devoid of any functionless ornamentation. Tasted at the Rebholz Kastanienbusch/Christmann Idig/Wittmann Morstein vertical tasting in Westhofen in late August 2024.

Impresses on the nose with minerality in all its facets from chalky to earthy and dusty too, but is not short of ripe fruit from peach to pear. Like all Christmann’s wines, on the palate it prefers subtlety to ostentatiousness and is as much about structure as about flavour. Fruit, minerality, herbs and spices are not trying to outdo each other but strive for harmony. (MS)
