Critics scores
95 Robert Parker
The 2017 Riesling is another concentrated, very intense yet precise and elegant Riesling with a great amalgam of lemon fruits and flinty nuances of crushed stones and iodine on the nose. Lush and round on the dense but fine palate, this is a rich and concentrated but elegant and balanced Riesling that is based on a firm structure and fine salinity that leads to a long and complex finish. This is a rich and intense Riesling that is now opening up and becoming pretty hedonistic. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2024.

Producer
Gantenbein
Along the breathtaking Rhine Valley of Grisons, the Gantenbein winery is found in the small wine-growing village of Fläsch. Founded in 1982 by Martha and Daniel Gantenbein, they began by planting their 6-hectare estate with Burgundy clones. Today the property is predominately dedicated to Pinot Noir production, while much smaller areas are devoted to Chardonnay and Riesling growth. Martha and Daniel agreed early on that quality was key – therefore meticulous viticulture and vinification processes are followed. They even use gravity-feed tanks, where the flow of the grapes and the juice is regulated by the earth’s natural pressure without the need of pumps or filters. Along with their top Pinot Noirs, the estate also crafts two smaller production wines of Riesling and Chardonnay.
