Description
Kodolitsch's Ried Kogelberg Riesling 2023 comes from one of the most distinctive sites in Southern Styria and impressively demonstrates how precise and terroir-driven Riesling can be in this origin. The steep slopes and mineral-rich soils give the wine an exceptional tension and an unmistakable character. The Kodolitsch winery consistently focuses on origin and site, which clearly expresses the uniqueness of the Kogelberg.
The 2023 vintage presents itself as taut, focused, and full of energy. The natural freshness of the Riesling is accompanied by a delicate minerality and impressive precision. Instead of opulent fruit or aromatic loudness, the wine focuses on clarity, elegance, and depth. It is precisely this combination of freshness, structure, and mineral tension that makes it a particularly characterful representative of its grape variety.
The vinification is deliberately restrained, ensuring that the origin and the grape variety are uncompromisingly in the spotlight. This results in a Riesling with a fine texture, remarkable balance, and a long, mineral-driven finish that impressively reflects the signature of Kodolitsch and the potential of the Ried Kogelberg.
Das erwartet dich beim Trinken
The nose and palate offer a grand cinematic experience with a refined aromatic diversity, without fruit broadness, characterized by Sausal slate spice, grapefruit, and stone fruit.
The palate reveals precise terroir characteristics, a balance of extract sweetness and spice, with noble, ripe tannin notes and lemon zest on the finish. Superb!
