The 2022 Bassermann-Jordan Kalkofen Riesling Grosses Gewaechs is a white wine hailing from the Pfalz region in Germany, specifically the Deidesheim sub-region within the Kalkofen appellation. Produced by Bassermann-Jordan, this Riesling has garnered attention from professional reviewers for its distinctive characteristics.

James Suckling awarded this wine a score of 93, describing it as having "so much peach and apricot with a touch of mango in the enticing nose." Suckling notes that the wine is "ripe and rich with a touch of caramel on the medium- to full-bodied palate," attributing its balance and attractiveness to its acidity, which lifts the flavors. He further highlights its "pineapple chutney finish" and mentions that it is crafted from biodynamically grown grapes, suggesting that it can be enjoyed now or held for future consumption.

Vinous, represented by Anne Krebiehl MW, rated the wine slightly lower with a score of 91. Krebiehl describes the 2022 Riesling as coming from "stony, mixed but poor soils of loam, marly clay, limestone and limestone debris, surrounded by a sandstone wall, turning this into a clos." She notes that the nose is "still shy, giving just a hint of salty yeastiness," while the palate is "creamier, rounder and has a sense of pithiness while remaining slender." Krebiehl points out that the fruit is "in hiding," which is not necessarily a negative aspect, as it allows the "salty yeast" to take center stage. She concludes that the finish is "clear-cut and could be longer," and categorizes the wine as bone-dry.

In summary, the 2022 Bassermann-Jordan Kalkofen Riesling Grosses Gewaechs is a complex and balanced Riesling that presents a rich array of fruit flavors supported by a solid acidic structure. While Suckling emphasizes its ripe fruit and caramel notes, Krebiehl focuses on its creamy texture and mineral undertones. Both reviewers agree on its quality, making it a noteworthy option for Riesling enthusiasts.
