A Mosel Treasure Chest – Review of Trittenheimer Apotheke Laurentiusberg Trocken GG 2023

A true gem from the Mosel

Trittenheimer Apotheke Laurentiusberg Trocken GG 2023 is not just another Riesling – it is a masterpiece from the Mosel, whose history and wine tradition you can almost taste in every drop. Grosses Gewächs (GG) is the highest quality level for dry Riesling in Germany – and this wine is a textbook example of why.

The Laurentiusberg, with its steep slopes and mineral-rich slate soil, gives this Riesling an unrivaled purity and character. The wine is from the 2023 vintage and appears with a light golden color, great aromatic complexity and a freshness that excites the senses.

In the glass – stylish German elegance

At first sniff, you are greeted by delightful notes of lemon blossom, fresh green apples and an underlying slate minerality. The dry style is balanced by a crisp acidity that beautifully brings out the fruit in the mouth. The taste is dominated by citrus, some stone fruit and an elegant mineral bite, leading to a long, fresh and focused finish.

A versatile food match

The mineral freshness and structured acid profile make Trittenheimer Apotheke Laurentiusberg Trocken GG 2023 an ideal match for food. Think seafood, fried fish, Nordic-inspired dishes with herbs and acid – but also white meat and dishes with beurre blanc or grilled asparagus go well together.

Conclusion

This is a Riesling that speaks to both the brain and the heart. Technical precision meets emotional depth, and the result is a wine that not only tastes good now, but will certainly develop further layers of complexity over the next 5-10 years.
