Tasting notes
Ripe white peach and Persian melon are wreathed in honeysuckle in the nose. A luscious palate presence is enhanced by bright fresh lime, while bittersweet floral perfume and cooling green herbal essences add further allure en route to an at once luscious and dynamic not to mention prodigiously persistent finish.

The 2015 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese opens with an aristocratic bouquet of coolish, flinty slate and citrus perfume along with concentrated Riesling flavors. There is great complexity and expression here! On the palate, this wine is highly elegant and its seamless, silky texture is like that of the Dellchen GG. Very salty, full of finesse and tension on the palate--this is a great, perfectly balanced Spätlese. There is no other Riesling in the Nahe that has such nobly aristocratic attitude. It's one of the finest Spätlese Rieslings you can buy from this vintage. (Also available as magnum for $130 and double magnum $290.)
AP number 18 16. Quite rich and sweet with a big robust mouthful of fruit. Full on! Lots of ripe kiwi flavour here. (JR)
