Tasting Notes

Christmann wines are a testament to the stunning Pfalz countryside, the remarkable soil, and the ideal climate, all intertwined with their family's rich history and unwavering passion. Since 1798, they have taken pride in preserving and nurturing the Palatine terroir. The 2018 vintage, characterized by its mellowness, has yielded a deep and opulent Riesling with abundant fruitiness. The nose is rich in the quintessential Palatinate style, featuring yellow fruits and floral notes. On the palate, this Riesling is beautifully concentrated, layered, precise, and highly expressive. It possesses significant aging potential, promising further development over time.

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

18/20

Jancis Robinson

Gentle like all Christmann’s Grosse Gewächse, particularly on the nose, but nevertheless enticing with subtle herbal and fruity aromas. The palate combines the taste of fresh pear with fine nuances of spice and dried herbs. A little more luscious than in other vintages, but still putting subtlety and elegance first.

Robert Parker

The 2018 Riesling Meerspinne (im Mandelgarten) GG is terrific in its precision and mineral freshness and full of crushed stone and lemon aromas. On the palate, this is an electrifying, firm, tight and tensioned dry Riesling in a new style for Christmann. This is so pure and crunchy and so elegant that Riesling freaks will get excited by this uncompromising and endlessly salty, bone-dry Riesling in the Rebholz league. Chapeau, Sophie Christmann!
