Kalkmergel refers to the chalky marl soils, which are said to yield powerful and mineral wines. This is a wonderfully complex example, with scents of musk, quince and brine all combining easily into a knockout aroma. It’s citrusy and fresh, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2016, possibly longer.——J.C.(12/1/2011)—— 91

Kalkmergel refers to a soil type (chalky), rather than a specific vineyard site. This is a thickly concentrated dry Riesling, with aromas of pineapple, honey and petrol and flavors that across as citrusy and honeyed yet dry. Long and salty-minerally on the finish.——J.C.(6/1/2009)—— 90
