Winery P.J.Kühn Riesling Jacobus Organic 2022

Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022

You are drinking a wine that carries the warmth of the summer of 2022 within it, but not overly warmed. The P.J.Kühn Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 is a dry, mineral wine with a fine acidity that flows like a soft laugh through the mouth. It shows the clarity of the vines growing on the limestone of the Rheingau and the spice that arises from the slowness of the fermentation. This wine is not only a pleasure, but a testament to nature and the hands that have shaped it.

Region Rheingau

The Rheingau is known for its limestone soils that give the grapes a mineral note. The vines grow on the slopes encircled by the Rhine, and the air is often fresh and cooler than in other regions. The grapes that form the Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 were shaped by a warm summer and late rain this year. The winemakers used the cool night air to cool the grapes and preserve the acidity. The combination of warmth and cold has made the wine a piece of earth that you feel in your glass.

Balance of Fruit and Mineral

The P.J.Kühn Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 is a wine that does not flow into your hands, but rather slowly, with a light salty note, into your mouth. It carries the aromas of apple, pear, and a light, citrus note reminiscent of meadow flowers. The acidity is not sharp, but soft, like a whisper of wind that runs through the grapes in the vines. The minerality is clear, it reminds you of the limestone and the rocky slopes of the Rheingau. The wine is dry, but not drying – it remains in your mouth, as if it were asking you with a soft voice if you want to drink it again.

Origin: Biodynamic Vines and Craftsmanship

The Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 comes from vines that have been biodynamically cultivated at the P.J.Kühn winery since 2004. The winemakers have not only respected nature, but have incorporated it into their work. The grapes were slowly pressed, over six hours, to preserve the phenols and protect the freshness. The fermentation was spontaneous, without yeast, and the grapes rested on the yeast for several months to unfold their spice. The wine was aged in steel and wood, and thus a wine that carries nature and craftsmanship within itself was created.

Taste: A Wine That Tells Its Own Story

The P.J.Kühn Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 has a nose that tells the story of fruit and herbs. You smell apple, pear, a light salty note and a citrus note reminiscent of lemongrass. In the mouth it is lively, the acidity flows softly, and the minerality is like a whisper of limestone. The wine is not too sharp, but has a character that pushes itself into your mouth. It remains in your mouth as if it were asking you if you want to drink it again. The structure is balanced, the fruit present, and the finish is long, as if the wine were telling its own story.

Food Pairing: A Wine That Goes with Many Dishes

The Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 is a wine that behaves well with many dishes. It pairs with marinated chicken, mild cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, and asparagus that has been oven-roasted. It also harmonizes with sautéed mushrooms or stone fruit that has been pan-fried. A special highlight is the enjoyment with hummus and mixed nuts. The wine is not too sweet, but has a light spice that refines the dishes. It is a wine that behaves well with many occasions, but never draws the focus onto itself.

The 2022 Vintage: A Year That Shaped the Wines

The summer of 2022 was warm, but the winemakers treated the grapes in such a way that the wine did not become overripe. The grapes were harvested early to preserve the acidity, and the winemakers carefully checked the selection of grapes. The Riesling Jacobus Bio 2022 is an example of how even a warm year can become a wonderful wine. The acidity is balanced, the fruit present and the structure perfectly balanced. The wine is a testament to the dedication of the winemakers who respect nature and allow the grapes to express their full diversity.
