The Philipp Kuhn Riesling Trocken Saumagen G.G. 2019 is a flagship dry Riesling from Germany’s Pfalz region, crafted by the Philipp Kuhn estate from the Saumagen vineyard. This 2019 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe apricot, lemon zest, and white peach, with hints of wet stone and subtle floral notes. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a mineral-driven core, and a long, elegant finish with a touch of honeyed complexity. Fermented and aged in large German oak casks, this Grosses Gewächs reflects the limestone-rich terroir of Pfalz. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. Rated highly by critics, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 10-15 years, developing richer, petrol-driven notes. This Saumagen Riesling is a collector’s gem, showcasing Kuhn’s expertise in crafting world-class German whites with elegance and power.
