Steffen Christmann classifies the Konigsbacher Idig as the estate's flagship single-vineyard, biodynamically farmed (respekt-BIODYN) and bottled as Grosses Gewachs since the modern dry Pfalz tier was established.
Structurally full-bodied, high acidity with a long finish. Christmann's biodynamic dry Grosses Gewachs from the Konigsbacher Idig: dense salty mineral palate, herb, citrus and a profoundly long savoury close.
Drink 8 to 30 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.
Schweinshaxe with sauerkraut is the canonical pairing. Other strong matches include Pike-perch with brown butter and Aged Allgau Bergkaese. High-acid Riesling cuts pork fat and lifts the fermented kraut.
No: the producer uses traditional animal-derived fining agents (typically egg whites or isinglass) during clarification, so the wine is not vegan.
The blend is Riesling. The wine is classified as VDP.Grosse Lage Pfalz.
