A. Christmann

The Christmanns picked riesling throughout October this year but did not acidify any of the musts, since they judged the pH values to have been in order. Some of their 2003s, most of which finished dry, betrayed their alcohol as well as some bitter phenolics. The Christmann "Grosse Gewachse," which have been among the most lavishly praised within Germany and are among the most expensive of their genre, were being bottled only after my visit. I preferred a couple of Christmann's "village" wines (i. e. , labeled only with the village name) to certain of the corresponding vineyard designates, and the estate's superripe, rather gaudy Auslese from the Reiterpfad struck me as overly soft and sweet.
