Hipping, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2024

The 2024 is a more herbal noted Hipping incarnate, offering expressive notes of fine lime and rangpur, crushed mint and lemongrass on the nose – going into verbena. On the palate, tighter berries and light citrus and slate smoke– pomelo and salted peaches. A nicely detailed Hipping: one that is less exuberant than the 2023 and 2022; more on the detail and slim, wiry fruits. Produced from a blend of 4 small plots, fermented and aged in 1200L cask. Hipping is a justly famous, steep, southeast/east facing vineyard on red slate – along with Pettenthal, one of the key sites in the Roter Hang.
