A.Christmann Riesling Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Erstes Gewächs Bio 2024

A. Christmann’s 2024 Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Riesling brings together fruit from several parcels in this distinguished Pfalz vineyard, including the Hofstück, once vinified separately. The estate’s decision to combine these sites makes for a particularly ambitious Erste Lage bottling, made from organically grown Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The available tasting information describes ripe, expressive fruit from the vineyard, though it refers to the 2021 vintage rather than 2024. For this Riesling, expect the freshness and aromatic character typical of the grape, with a texture shaped by the site’s naturally concentrated fruit. It should be enjoyable young, but well-stored bottles may develop added complexity over the next several years.

Production
The vineyard’s east- to southeast-facing terraces sit on weathered coloured sandstone, with an open aspect that gives the vines long hours of sunshine. The estate’s description notes selective hand-harvesting in small crates, followed by spontaneous fermentation and maturation in stainless-steel tanks and large wooden casks. The wine is labelled organic.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 9–11°C, with freshwater fish, shellfish, roast poultry or dishes with herbs and citrus. It should not need decanting; a few minutes in the glass can help its aromas open, especially when young.
