Schild Gimmeldingen GG VDP.Grosses Gewächs - QW Pfalz Weingut A. Christmann

A Spätburgunder from only 0.8 hectares: The Schild Gimmeldingen from Weingut A. Christmann is a dry VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS®, which combines limestone minerality with pressure and finesse.

The Schild is a terraced plot on a limestone reef in the Gimmeldinger Biengarten, bordered by a ten-meter-high embankment. The soil is tertiary limestone marl, the slope is around 20%, and the orientation is southeast. Morning sun warms the vines early, and the stone walls release heat at night. As early as the 1930s, the wines from this vineyard were among the most expensive of the then-winery Joh. Fried. Reis. Since 2023, the wine has carried the GG predicate.

The vines were planted in 2011, and a portion was regrafted in 2021. It was harvested in September 2023, 100% by selective hand-picking into small crates. The aging took place with mash fermentation and 20% whole clusters, after which the wine matured for 17 months in barriques and was bottled in May 2025. In the glass, it appears precise and multi-layered, with a clear limestone-mineral definition.

We recommend it at about 16–18 °C, decanted beforehand if desired. It goes with duck breast, braised veal cheeks, mushroom dishes, or aged mountain cheese.
