Tasting Notes
Terroir
Formerly known as Waldberg, the "Paradise Garden" was given its more romantic name after World War II. It features loamy sand and faces southeast behind the village of Deidesheim. The micro-climate is cooler and a top-quality Paradiesgarten should always display firm acidity, minerality, and sharp cut. This dry Riesling from Steffen Christmann shows minerality and sharp cut balanced by richness and weight, making this a superb match for roast pork loin with sautéed apples, baked cod with orange and avocado, or classic omelets.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Bittersweet pungency of grapefruit zest and herbs mark the aromas and flavors of Christmann’s 2008 Paradiesgarten Riesling Trocken, whose admirably sappy intensity is disrupted by the extent of tart citrus and bitter fruit pit and zest. This wine is redeemed from austerity by dint of its citric juiciness; glycerin-richness; and sense of underlying extract. It should remain fresh for at least half a dozen years, though represents another instance of a style I find requires careful pairing if it and the dish in question are really to be at all synergistic.
Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten
: 30ha (74.1 acres) Formerly known as Waldberg, but after World War II it was given a more romantic name. Loam and loamy sand; southeast-facing. Much of the vineyard is located at the top of the slope fringing the forest, so the microclimate is cooler. Owners include Von Buhl and Deinhard. It's a Grosses Gewachs site for Von Buhl. -- Stephen Brook, The Wines of Germany
