Kanzem ALTENBERG Riesling dry GG

The Kanzemer Altenberg is the heart of von Othegraven — an extreme southern steep slope directly on the Saar, which Günther Jauch took over in 2010 and has since consistently developed into one of the most precise wineries in the Saar.

The steepness of the site necessitates hand-picking; the slate stores heat and releases it slowly at night — the result is a Riesling with unusual ripeness combined with a taut acidity structure. In the glass, yellow plum, mirabelle, and quince appear, underscored by flint and a salty, mineral pull that is typical for the Saar. The body is dense without heaviness, the tannins fine, the finish long and spicy.

  • Serving temperature: 10–12 °C
  • Food: Zander fillet with beurre blanc, grilled lobster, ripe Comté, or sweetbreads

A GG that rewards patience — those who open it today should decant it for two hours.

The Winery

von Othegraven

VDP Member Estate

Maximilian von Othegraven – a winery with history. Founded in the early 16th century, it is romantically situated on the Saar, opposite the village of Kanzem, surrounded by a park with rare trees. In the family since 1805.

In 2010, Günther Jauch and Dorothea Sihler-Jauch took over the estate from their great-aunt. With an uncompromising commitment to quality, they led it to the top of German Riesling producers.

Right outside the door: the south-facing Kanzemer Altenberg – one of the truly great German Grand Crus. Mineral density, delicate fruity spice, vineyard peach, ripe apples. Floral, balanced, magnificent.
