2019 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, Dönnhoff, Nahe

2019 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, Dönnhoff, Nahe

From 100-year old vines, this is a real gem. Made from noble grapes, this has loads of ripe exotic fruit, but still the incredible minerality for which this vineyard has long been prized. A genuine privilege to taste.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Riesling Auslese Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle is crystalline and flinty on the precise, ethereal and bright nose that represents the terroir of the Hermannshöhle beautifully and irresistibly. On the palate, this is a highly finessed, filigreed, playful and delicate Auslese with stimulating piquancy and salinity on the weightless and frisky but elegant finish. This is a fascinating Auslese with great detail and precision. Personally, I even prefer this clear and bright version (AP 17 20) to the richer, sweeter and more concentrated one that will be auctioned (AP 19 20) and possibly has the greater aging potential. However, both will live longer than I will anyway. Tasted in May 2020.
