This exceptional dry Riesling from Centgrafenberg is matured in a 2,400-liter Doppelstück barrel, indicating its limited production. Initially, its aroma is pristine, almost ethereal, then it unfolds into notes of trout pears and a hint of lemon. Admirers cherish its steely nature, typical of a dry-fermented Riesling. In its youth, Centgrafenberg can appear almost timid, reminiscent of Dönnhoff’s Hermannshöhle or Frank Schönleber's Halenberg, yet it evolves into a thrilling, top-tier Riesling after just a few years of aging. Sebastian aims to highlight the mineral aspects of the varietal while allowing the fruit to recede, taking inspiration from Alsace's iconic Trimbach Clos Sainte Hune. This Riesling is uniquely remarkable, especially considering Sebastian’s primary focus on Pinot varieties.
