justerini & brooks tasting note

A magnificent nose parades notes of spiced peach, wild strawberry, fresh white peach and vanilla pod. The palate has lots of powerful extract, yet finishes so utterly refined and elegant. This has it all. Long, regal and destined for a long life, firm with slate character yet open and generous with its fruit already. A great marriage of elegance and power.

critic reviews

92/100Joel Payne,Vinous

Intense floral aromas, paired with pineapple, wild herbs and lemon oil. A delicate interplay of ripe citrus fruits and salty minerality sets a distinguished tone. Refined, expressive and elegant on the finish, this is a textbook Spätlese that I would enjoy having in my own cellar.

94/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2013 Riesling Spatlese Niederhauser Hermannshohle is clear, pure and mineral on the nose, displaying lemon juice and crushed slate rocks, really refreshing. Sweet, rich and piquant on the palate, this is a vibrant and salty wine full of intensity, finesse and purity, quite young and firmly structured, very expressive and long. So salty!
