K.F. Groebe Riesling Kirchspiel Großes Gewächs 2024

K.F. Groebe’s Kirchspiel Großes Gewächs is a site-led Riesling from one of Westhofen’s celebrated vineyard locations in Rheinhessen. Its combination of a sheltered, south-east-facing slope and distinctive marl and limestone soils gives the wine its sense of depth and mineral character.

Tasting Notes
The Kirchspiel profile is associated with citrus and apricot, with a subtle suggestion of flint and a focused, mineral finish. Expect a characterful Riesling with a lingering aftertaste; the exact expression will depend on the 2024 vintage and is best confirmed on tasting. As a Großes Gewächs Riesling, it should reward time in the cellar, developing greater complexity as it matures. No specific drinking window is provided.

Production
Kirchspiel rises to around 150 metres and opens towards the Rhine in a south-easterly aspect, with the slope’s amphitheatre-like form offering shelter from cold winds. Clay marl and limestone underpin the site’s mineral character. Harvesting and vinification details for the 2024 wine have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Try it with seafood, freshwater fish, roast poultry or dishes featuring herbs and citrus. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Decanting is optional; a short time in a carafe can help the wine open, particularly if it is still youthful.
