This is a new parcel and a new wine as of 2021. For about 37 really serious wine dorks, this site was put on the map in the late aughts by Stefan Steinmetz; it is one of the cooler sites around these parts, tucked even further up into the side-valley. As the site is basically behind and above the Ohligsberg, it shares some similarities – a dark-fruited, dense and plush palate. As the site is higher and cooler than the Ohligsberg, it is also a very structured wine, with powerful acidity and refreshing, herbal, nearly-juniper-esque savory spicy quality.

Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Geierslay Riesling Kabinett, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from fruit picked at 76° Oechsle on over 60-year-old vines and was fermented spontaneously in stainless-steel tank down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (50 g/l). This hay-white-colored wine offers a beautifully and pure nose of peach sorbet, melon, whipped cream, mint, and smoke. It proves smooth and subtly round on the palate, whereby the creaminess is nicely framed by beautifully ripe acidity in the long finish. The aftertaste is nicely zesty and complex. | No 74 Dec 2024 |
