This giant of granitic minerality creeps up on you, the crushed rocks and minerals building dramatically as it flows over the medium- to full-bodied palate. Incredible intensity of fresh pineapple, star fruit, fresh mint and basil aromas is married to delicate creaminess and racy acidity that make this so exciting in the super-focused finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

The 2023 Riesling Brand Grand Cru was grown on granite from the Steinglitz parcel, amongst others. It has a slightly reductive smokiness and a touch of tart red apple skin. The palate is immediately juicy, salty and full of crunch and verve. It's thrilling, bright, hair-raising and full of a beautiful, sunny, vivid, lively energy, like the most delicious jolt of freshness. (Bone-dry)(AK)

A salty, leesy, textured version, with a generous cascade of lemon balm, mandarin orange, bitter peach skin and chamomile filigreed with blanched almond and smoky flint. With power and drive in reserve, this is one for the cellar. Drink now through 2033.—K.B.
