Landgeflecht is one of Peter Jakob Kuhn's individual parcel selections from Oestrich in the Rheingau. Drawn from the Doosberg vineyard, it expresses the family's patient approach through a dry Riesling with depth, texture and a strong savoury dimension. Careful farming and time in the cellar are central to the style. The 2019 offers an opportunity to explore a more developed, layered expression from this distinctive family estate.
- Aromas: Ripe apple, quince and citrus peel, with herbs, flowers and a gently smoky, mineral suggestion beneath the fruit.
- Palate: Dry and concentrated, with fresh acidity and a broad, finely textured middle. Savoury depth and a mineral impression carry through the long finish.
- Style: A complex, parcel-selected dry Rheingau Riesling, combining substantial texture with precision and the potential for bottle development.
- Winemaking: Carefully harvested Riesling ferments spontaneously and undergoes extended lees maturation in seasoned wood. Restrained handling allows the parcel's fruit, acidity and texture to integrate slowly before release.
- Cellaring: Drink now with time to open, or cellar to approximately 2040 under cool, stable conditions. This is an indicative window dependent, on storage. Keep in a cool and dark location.
- Food Pairing: Roast turbot, lobster, chicken with cream or rich mushroom dishes; the wine's depth suits food with some texture and savoury richness.
This is a bottle to give a little time and a worthwhile place at dinner. Open it with something carefully cooked, use a generous glass and follow its changing layers. Landgeflecht offers much more than a quick impression of fruit and acidity. Serve around 11-13°C and give the wine some time in the glass to reveal its finer layers.
