justerini & brooks tasting note

The magnificent Hermannshöhle has produced, in 2021, a Spätlese of great layering and an intense minerality that plays beautifully against the complex fruit on display. Only pure golden berries were used in the blend, no botrytis whatsoever. A many hued Spätlese with myriad flavours of apple, stone fruits, and layer upon layer of fine slate. High definition, full of promise, this is one to stick away for a few years.

critic reviews

95/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From the southeast-facing part of the vineyard, the 2021 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spatlese is very clear, pure and flinty on the concentrated nose. Sweet, refined and very elegant on the palate, this is a weightless, saline and filigreed, playful Spatlese with great balance and delicacy. Not dramatic but quiet and in beautiful balance. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
