With its 60 hectares, the Reiterpfad forms a large terrace sloping only slightly to the east-southeast, which was formed over thousands of years from red sandstone rubble of the Haardt Mountains. Due to the exposed location and the slightly higher distance to the forest edge, the Reiterpfad benefits from very long sunlight from early morning to late evening. Since the Haardt Mountains are very enclosed from Ruppertsberg to Wachenheim, the vineyards are well protected from the wind. Our Reiterpfad Riesling is composed of the Gewann Hofstück, classified as VDP.Große Lage, and three other Gewannen. These are located closer to the forest edge and therefore are a little bit cooler and more humid. Altogether this gives a perfect balance.

Press Review

"From Christmann's most prestigious site and a de facto monopole, the 2021 Idig Königsbach Riesling Grosse Lage offers a pure, intense and chalky/iodine-scented bouquet of ripe and well-concentrated and spicy/stony Riesling fruits. Dense and savory on the palate, with fine, chalky tannins and tart lemon juice notes, this is a dense, refined and persistently saline and tannic Idig with stimulating bitters. It is beautifully astringent and promising.
Drink 2028 - 2050."
95/100 Wine Advocate

Press Review 2

"Delicate stone-fruit aromas and a cool balsamic lift on the palate as well as the nose. Given time in the glass, it evolves beautifully. Citrus precision and focus. Notable power is woven with an elegant texture and smoky nuance. Tremendous length. Drink 2025 - 2034."
17.5/20 Jancis Robinson
