he 2019 Riesling is pure, deep, intensely mineral and fresh on the nose that reveals elegant and concentrated lemon fruit intermingled with crystalline salty notes of crushed stones. Round, fresh and savory on the palate, this is a supple, even rich and concentrated, textural but also finessed Riesling with a long and intense, lemon-bitter finish that is carried by salivating, crystalline acidity and fine tannin grip. 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.
