Riesling, Toni Jost, Im Hahn GG VDP Grosse Lage 2018, Mittelrhein, Germany

A dry Grand Cru Riesling from the steep slate slopes of the legendary Im Hahn vineyard in Bacharach, Mittelrhein. Toni Jost's 2018 Grosses Gewächs (GG) is a powerful and refined wine that captures the essence of this dramatic, river-facing terroir.

Tasting Note
Ripe peach, candied citrus, wild herbs, and smoky minerality rise from the glass. On the palate, it’s structured and dry, showing depth and elegance with juicy acidity, fine phenolics, and a persistent, salty finish. Notes of orange oil and crushed slate evolve as the wine opens up—complex and already developing beautifully.
