Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle, Riesling, Auslese, Goldkapsel, 2022

The selection for the Goldkap comes from the lower part of the vineyard, where the vines are single staked and directly influenced by the river. Wonderfully expansive and composed, the Hermannshöhle is highly finessed, arriving with notes of passion fruit cream, mango and guava with touches of almond and floral honey. More tropical than the Brucke but also broader, it has an insanely long finish.
