The restrained beauty of the peachiness in the nose is hard to describe, but easy to be overwhelmed by! On the compact palate this has staggering concentration yet still manages to be very light on its feet. The finish is blade-runner sharp, but the blade also flashes in the sun. Breathtaking drive and energy for the very warm and dry vintage. Then comes the remarkable wet-stone minerality and you can’t wait for the next sip. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

Firm and fresh with more obvious fruit and conviction than the Dellchen. Pretty smart really. (JR)

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)

The 2022er Hermannshöhle Riesling -GG-, as it is referred to on the front label, still has a restrained and quite smoky nose at first. After some minutes in the glass, it offers a complex and impressive nose of spearmint, wild herbs, bergamot, violet, almond, and sandalwood. The wine has great energy and presence on the palate, where the impressive structure gives a slightly broader side to the wine. The finish is quite rich, opulent, and has huge depth. This fuller expression of Hermannshöhle GG is hugely impressive.
