“Powerful lime aroma, and an energy that makes this leap joyfully across your palate. Then, as the air starts to work on this, a whole fruit salad of aromas on the medium-bodied palate. Then the lime freshness gently builds again to a serious statement in the finish. Drink or hold.”

“The 2023 Riesling Trocken Langenlonsheimer Königsschild is pure yet also intense and reveals a fine mineral core wrapped by precise, fresh and elegant apricot aromas. Very elegant and refined on the first palate, this is a round and juicy yet crystalline and mineral Königsschild, whose limestone soils mixed with loess and loam managed the vintage very well, even in the rainier last third of the vegetation period. The wine comes in with 13% stated alcohol but is light-footed, fine and stimulating, with a long and expressive finish. This is never fat and never rich in texture but an intense and pure Riesling from Langenlonsheim. It’s probably the finest Königsschild in Martin Tesch’s career. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in September 2024.”

“The Königsschild shows finesse with grapefruit aromas and flavors, a medium-weight body, and overall roundness, but it also has a structure typical of limestone soils. Screw cap closure. 13.0% stated alcohol.”

„The 2023 Riesling Königsschild is a fully south-facing site of light, calcareous loess. Crushed citrus foliage and pale lemon skin set the tone on the nose. The palate follows suit with fine, lemon-scented freshness, super-light and vividly bright. This is the slenderest Riesling of the portfolio, citrus-focused and lip-smacking. (Bone-dry)“

“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,161 g. Deep-rooted vines on limestone with loess and alluvial loam. Turquoise capsule. Distinctly floral nose. Less flamboyant than the Krone with delicacy and some more to give. Real limestone lift and sappiness. Less fruit and more mineral than some of its stablemates. The acidity is still quite marked but there is no concern that it won’t deliver eventually. Still slightly astringent.”
