Tesch Riesling Königsschild Nahe 2024

James Suckling

This dry riesling is juicy and well structured, with complex fruit salad and mint aromas filling out the focused, medium-bodied palate. Although this vintage has the reputation of being tart, the harmony in the finish is already stunning. In spite of the restrained creaminess on the mid-palate, there’s not a hint of fat. In fact, it’s super clean

The 2024 Königsschild Langenlonsheim Riesling Trocken is a classic! Beautifully aromatic yet coolish and full of stony or even chalky as well as lemony notes, the 2024 indicates spirit and energy and is full of details. Extremely stimulating on the palate, this is a weightless, finessed and playful Riesling with fine tannins and a charming sur lie texture. At this early stage, this is a terrific vivacious Königsschild full of finesse and joy. The finish is long and savory yet never powerful, heavy or too intense, which makes this wine so irresistible. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure.

Vinous

The 2024 Riesling Königsschild was harvested over three weeks on south-facing calcareous loam. It shines with lovely citrus force, with a beautiful pure lift of ripe lemon peel. This is cooling, soothing and slender but concentrated. It glides across the palate like lemon oil. It has a wonderful mouthfeel, with bright ripeness, juiciness and zestiness.

Jancis Robinson

“Tight, contained with marked freshness and depth. You could enjoy this now but it should continue to improve. Hint of lemongrass adds real interest. Quite complex.”

Vin.connaisseur

Riesling i topform! Sprød og præcis med masser af citrus, hvide blomster og en saltet mineralitet, der giver vinen nerve og energi. Syren er knivskarp, men balanceres smukt af en let frugtsødme. En tør, rank og elegant Riesling, der beviser, hvorfor Nahe er en af Tysklands mest spændende regioner.

Wine Enthusiast

Powerful lime aroma, and an energy that makes this leap joyfully across your palate. Then, as the air starts to work on this, a whole fruit salad of aromas on the medium-bodied palate. Then the lime freshness gently builds again to a serious statement in the finish.

The Fine Wine Review

Königsschild is my perennial favorite of Tesch’s wines. This is pure, focused, precise wine with depth and lime minerality. It is medium-weight with good concentration and acidity that is present but well-integrated and not dominant. Limestone soils with seashell under loess.
