Description
The Gaisböhl G.C. Monopol corresponds to the VDP Grossen Gewächs. Presents itself full and supple with a fine bouquet of poached pear, peach and ripe red apple. Underpinned by pineapple with hints of vanilla and camomile. Complex and fine-smelling. Virtually opulent with lots of fruit and melting. Exotic notes of grapefruit and mango enrich its spectrum. Enchanting play of finely integrated acidity and hints of fruity sweetness. Noble Riesling style, full-bodied and already in its youth very round and velvety. A lavish wealth of aromas - typically Gaisböhl.

Pfalz
Pfalz: Riesling meets Burgundy
Palatine winemakers manage the feat of vinifying top-tier crus from both white and red varieties. In addition, Riesling presents the same class here as Chardonnay and other Burgundy varieties. This versatility at high quality levels makes Germany’s second-largest wine region a trove of discoveries of all kinds. Tranquil winegrowing towns with a diverse range of culinary offerings and hotels make the Palatinate region a perfect wine travel destination.
Germany
Germany – Into the elite the hard way
Sitting in the heart of Europe, the hilly, lake-dotted landscape of Germany provides ideal, fertile soil for the most diverse vine varieties. From Albalonga to Zweigelt, over 140 different grape varieties are grown on about 100,000 acres, cared for by nearly 50,000 vintners. Most of these vintners are young, modern, internationally trained, inquisitive and urbane. It is hardly surprising, then, that German wine has a good reputation well beyond the country's borders.
