Gottesfuß
Alte Reben GG

„Fine-jet, highly mineral, complex, playfully light and with a breathtaking range. The nose not only reflects the usual white peach, but also a hint of the exotic, dark tea, licorice, curry.“

„dense on the palate in all components.“

„The 2016 Gottesfuss Riesling Alte Reben has a lovely flinty/reductive, refined, pretty stony and initially slightly yeasty bouquet. Lush and elegant, this is a super fine but also super complex and persistent Riesling from roughly 120-years old vines. The finish is enormous, very long and complex but still reductive and very tight, with crunchy fresh slate flavors. The wine tastes pretty dry due to its strong minerality and grip. It's pure and rather filigreed but develops stunning volume and remarkable length.“

„Dark, smoky flavor, black tea, subtle rooted flavor, slightly hoppy, candied pineapple, juicy, a lot of rocky-slanted minerality, smooth-polished texture, dense and long.“

„It is only after minutes that a subtly fruitier side driven by candied pear, cassis and melon emerges from the wall of smoke and slate on the nose. (…)This massively impressive wine will only start to reveal its goods in a few years’ time so patience is required. But then, this could turn into a true star. It is THAT impressive! 2022-2035“

„With 97/100 points, the highest-rated wine of all German Grand Crus from 2012. Restrained fragrance. Well integrated aromas from spontaneous fermentation. Lemon balm and lime. Wet stone. Shifts strongly. On the palate with great crystalline minerality and firm, citrus-emphasized acid structure. The finest, intensive luster and supremely confident delivery in the everlasting finale.

„Intense straw yellow. Very clear, elegant and ripe fruit aromas, delicately spicy slate notes, acclimatized in the glass. Dense on the palate, very intense, very classy, very complex, a very large, sustainable wine with sensuality and a cool vein. Great ageing potential. “

„Light straw yellow. Nose dense and concentrated, tender petrol note, herbs, very complex. Opulent, rich and extremely long on the palate. There is also a small, ripe sweetness in the fullness of the extracts. It has luster and is still gripping, simply great, brilliant, very dense for a long time and lingering. “
