The Idig is one of the most excellent vineyards of the Palatinate. Through monopoly ownership, it represents the core of the estate. The wines produced here are among the style defining wines of the category “Großes Gewächs” and are celebrated worldwide year after year. With 2.8 ha, the major part of the vineyard area in Idig is planted with Riesling. Here are old vines, some of which are ungrafted, but also younger vines. The best pieces are the Kalkbuckel (limestone hump) around the pavilion, as well as the Rolandsberg and the adjoining terrace.

Tasting Notes

Like all Christmann’s wines, on the palate it prefers subtlety to ostentatiousness and is as much about structure as about flavour. Fruit, minerality, herbs and spices are not trying to outdo each other but strive for harmony.

Press Review

"From Christmann's most prestigious site and a de facto monopole, the 2021 Idig Königsbach Riesling Grosse Lage offers a pure, intense and chalky/iodine-scented bouquet of ripe and well-concentrated and spicy/stony Riesling fruits. Dense and savory on the palate, with fine, chalky tannins and tart lemon juice notes, this is a dense, refined and persistently saline and tannic Idig with stimulating bitters. It is beautifully astringent and promising.
Drink 2028 - 2050."
95/100 Wine Advocate

Press Review 2

"Delicate stone-fruit aromas and a cool balsamic lift on the palate as well as the nose. Given time in the glass, it evolves beautifully. Citrus precision and focus. Notable power is woven with an elegant texture and smoky nuance. Tremendous length. Drink 2025 - 2034."
17.5/20 Jancis Robinson
