Rheingau Riesling in its most serious, age-worthy form ⚡🍋

Peter Jakob Kühn is one of the leading names in biodynamic winemaking in Germany, and his GGs (Große Gewächse — Germany’s equivalent to Grand Cru) are some of the most expressive in the Rheingau. Doosberg is his flagship site: steep slope, old vines, and deep loess-loam soils that give power, depth, and mineral drive.

2021 was a high-tension vintage — cool, long, and incredibly precise — the perfect match for GG Riesling. Expect lemon zest, white peach, crushed slate, and a deep, savoury, almost herbal complexity that shows just how layered Doosberg can be. The palate is laser-focused yet textural, finishing long, salty, and tightly wound. Built for the cellar, but thrilling already if you love energy and structure.

Why it matters: GG = the top 1% of dry Riesling from Germany. Single vineyard, low yields, hand-farmed, and crafted for long aging. This is world-class terroir bottled with clarity and intent.

What the experts say about this wine

Grown on deep loess loam on white quartzite. The vines are between 40 to 45 years old. The nose gives a flicker of reduction but also sports hints of crushed herb. The palate falls into step, presenting pure, lithe, bright lemon with herbal edges. This is utterly concentrated, intense, almost searing with luminosity and brightness, yet buffered. This isprofound, earthy, almost chalky, with a beautifully fine-boned structure that just pushes this lemony brightness forward, like a beam of light, relentless but illuminating.
