The 2023 Peter Jakob Kühn Jacobus Riesling Trocken is the estate’s flagship Gutswein and a superb introduction to one of Germany’s most celebrated biodynamic producers. Sourced from vineyards across Oestrich, Winkel and Hallgarten in the Rheingau, the wine is hand-harvested, naturally fermented and aged on full lees for ten months. Despite its entry-level classification, Jacobus offers remarkable depth, minerality and precision, showcasing the purity and terroir-driven philosophy for which Peter Jakob Kühn is renowned.
The nose reveals green apple, pear, white peach and citrus blossom alongside hints of fresh herbs and crushed stone. The palate is vibrant and beautifully textured, with crisp acidity supporting layers of orchard fruit, lemon zest and saline minerality. Fresh, energetic and impeccably balanced, it finishes long and dry with impressive clarity and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully expressive dry Riesling that delivers outstanding value and a genuine sense of place. Its freshness and mineral precision make it a perfect match for oysters, grilled fish, sushi, pork dishes, asparagus and goat’s cheese. Enjoy now through 2030 while its vibrant fruit, texture and mineral character are at their peak.
