Tasting notes
The 2013 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs is breathtakingly clear, piquant and flinty on the nose, highly deep and complex but bright, with lime and grapefruit flavors. The palate is powerful, rich, dense, juicy and piquant, very salty, like melting minerals or stones, tension-full. A great dry Riesling, a monument.

There is something fresh and cool about the fragrance of the Hermannshöhle, although the customary yellow fruit aromas are not missing. On the palate apple and lime produce a mouth-watering alliance which is perfected by a scintillating acidity. Add to this already intriguing combination a generous measure of compact minerality and you have the makings of one of the most promising Grosse Gewächse of the 2013 vintage. (MS)
