Hermannshöhle, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2022

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

The most complex of the GGs, Hermannshöhle comes across sharp, stylish and unforced; crystalline, fluid and refreshing with oodles of tight lemon blossom, herbs, mandarin, a hint of honey and a long, ultra-fine slate-rich finish. A wine of myriad complexities. A truly great vineyard that very seldom lets you down.

critic reviews

95-97/100Anne Krebiehl,Vinous

The 2022 Riesling Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Grosses Gewächs is from shale soils. The nose immediately expresses water on hot stone: warm and redolent of things that are not vegetal but mineral. The palate, however, holds Riesling's alluring citrus and stone fruit. The stony depth and dimension are undeniable, waiting patiently in the background to come to the fore. For now, citrus provides the top notes, but the heart and base note is of absolute stone: wet stone, shale that holds water, salt and centuries in its depth. The buffered citrus serenity is captivating. The finish is pure lemon linearity. (Bone-dry)
