Description

From the celebrated Idig vineyard in the Pfalz, A. Christmann’s Riesling Großes Gewächs showcases the site’s distinctive limestone-rich character and the estate’s focus on expressive, dry Riesling. Idig is regarded as one of Germany’s most prestigious vineyard sites, and its steep, south-east-facing slopes give this wine a clear sense of place.

Tasting Notes
The supplied tasting description highlights white fruit, peach, honeydew melon and quince, with hints of fine tobacco and dried notes. These details refer to the 2020 vintage, so the 2022 may show some vintage variation.

Production
Idig has slopes of around 20% and faces south-east, where steady airflow helps keep the grapes dry as they ripen. Its soils are primarily Terra Fusca and limestone, with smaller amounts of basalt. The vineyard includes some ungrafted vines, alongside younger plantings used for the Großes Gewächs. Specific harvesting and vinification details for the 2022 vintage were not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, with roast poultry, grilled fish or dishes featuring herbs and citrus. Its Riesling freshness should also complement Asian-inspired food with gentle spice. Decanting is optional; a brief spell in a carafe can help the wine open if it seems reserved.

Producer
Weingut A. Christmann is based in Gimmeldingen in the Pfalz and is known for producing site-focused wines, particularly Riesling and Pinot Noir. The estate is a member of the VDP, Germany’s association of leading wine estates; its Idig Großes Gewächs reflects the standing of this vineyard within the region.
