Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2018
A very well-situated vineyard, just above the famed Marcobrun site. Often steeper than the latter, the wines here tend to the more mineral end of the spectrum. In 2018 this is creamy and alluring but also zesty on the nose while the palate combines charm and succulence with great depth and tension. Inviting flavours of creamy citrus and fine stones, and this innate with a sense of verticality that brings real poise.
critic reviews
Ripe white peach is piquantly accented on the nose as well as the satiny, glossy palate by peach kernel and hickory nut. This is one of several Spreitzer 2018s that show a slightly high-toned suggestion of fruit distillate, and like its vintage 2017 and 2016 predecessors it harbors around 13% alcohol, but fortunately that doesn’t translate into any harshness or heat. Stony, alkaline and mouthwateringly saline nuances accompany the long yet in other respects restrained finish. But then, restraint can lay good claim to being a specific Rheingau virtue.
