Tasting notes
Located in a very warm vineyard in the Dhroner Hofberg and from 60-year-old vines, the 2014 in der Sängerei is a medium dry Riesling fermented and aged in traditional fuders. Intensely yellow in color and with fine, fully ripe and concentrated Riesling flavors on the nose, this is a rich and piquant, discreetly sweet and salty Riesling of great purity and elegance. This is a noble food wine with a nice and juicy but precise fruit, and a very long and aromatic finish. This wine was picked with a certain proportion of perfectly selected botrytis. Great and perfect with food. Only 10.5% alcohol plus 25 grams of residual sugar.

A Chartreuse-like aromatic display of herbal and floral essences allied to kiwi and honeydew melon translates on a silken palate to a luscious, cooling, soothing elixir underlain by wet stone. I suspect that further nuances will emerge with time in bottle, and while the sweetness here is overt, it is entirely supportive and in no way obscurant. The presentation label for this wine – in keeping with Adam’s usual practice – reads simply “A.J. Adam 2014 In der Sängerei,” thus calling attention to the importance he places on this specific site, a dimple near the top of the Hofberg. For now, the official back label informs readers that the wine comes from the Dhroner Hofberg, but if the authorities ever come after Adam about the more specific site-designation, recent legislation allows him to register this old cadaster name.
