From ungrafted vines planted in the 1930s, the single-plot 2019 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben #8 Gisela is highly refined and delicate on the pure and flinty nose that displays very fine slate aromas and delicate fruit. Generously round and salty-piquant on the sophisticated palate, this is a sublime grand cru in the filigreed yet intense and sustainable Kabinett style. The sweetness is moderate and perfectly balanced by the body and the pervasive mineral background. The 2019 is another fascinating Gisela with an enormously long, pure, piquant and salty finish. 7.5% alcohol is 1.5% less than the 2018 contained. Tasted in May 2020.
