Tasting Notes
Pettenthal
2012 - Pettenthal Riesling Auslese
Super dense nose of exotic fruits like passion fruits and mango, mixed with white peach, melon, powerful slate minerality, highly inviting. On the palate creamy and complex, fresh and elegant acidity, broad fruit basket, beautiful minerality. Finishes fresh-fruity and slate-spicy with an endless aftertaste. Simply one of the best Auslese wines we ever had!
2010 - Pettenthal Riesling GG
There is not much to say about this #riesling - it is elegant, it is in perfect harmony, can‘t be better.
Abts Erde
2009 - Abts Erde Riesling Spätlese Versteigerungswein
Not heavy, still fresh and elegant, but so full of flavors. Hard to take down just all fruit elements. Lots more of mango, ripe pear, passion fruit, banana, ripe apples, pineapple. Let alone the great minerality, honey, floral and herbal notes.
Kirchspiel
2016 - Kirchspiel Riesling GG
Great flintstone minerality in the nose, high complexity with herbal notes, smoky elements, great spicyness, on the palate very clear, very fresh, amazing elegance, fine structure, drinks so well, endless minerality finish. This is high end!
2011 - Kirchspiel Riesling GG
Pure enjoyment in the glass. Perfectly balanced, deep minerality, beautiful sharp and soft at the same time. Great stuff!
Hubacker
2011 - Hubacker Riesling GG
Spicy nose with a ripe fruit basket of yellow stone fruits, ripe mango, also yellow apples, very complex and still fresh, super inviting. On the palate racy spiciness, powerful acidity, an elegant ripeness that’s hard to describe. Finishes with a crazy mix of juicy orange and flinty minerality, slightly salty. A bomb of Riesling!
2010 - Hubacker Riesling GG
The nose is powerful - a deep mix of herbs and wood, earthy with smoke and orange peel, spicy firestone-like minerality, also candied mandarins and ripe mango. On the palate surprisingly fresh, perfectly balanced acidity surrounded by spiciness, smoke and herbs. Finishes creamy, deep and long with intense spices and mandarin peel. Wicked!
Frauenberg
2015 - Frauenberg Spätburgunder GG
Beautiful nose of black cherries, wood, cassis and slight wood strawberries. On the palate elegant and clean, blackberries, raspberries, black currant, wrapped by smoky notes and an elegant acidity. Beautiful soft tannins in a fresh and mouthwatering finish.
von der Fels
2015 - Riesling von der Fels
Just a beauty in the Glas: clear, clean, elegant
Westhofen
2017 - Westhofen Riesling Auslese
The Westhofen Riesling Auslese 2017 is a cuvee of the two fantastic vineyards of Morstein and Abtserde. We put it in the decanter and let it breathe for 48 hours to give it some sort of “speed aging” – and the result was fresh, crisp and cool. Unbelievable! The nose is quite complex with exotic elements, especially unripe pineapple and passion fruit, there is a very cool minerality notes from the limestone that reminds of some mint, beautiful herbs, also some orange blossom. Super light on the palate, great fruits mix of exotic notes, grapefruit and oranges, the acidity is so fresh and cool. It’s a pleasure to have this wine in the glas!
