Tasting Notes

Rothenberg

2012 - Rothenberg Wurzelecht Riesling GG
In the nose beautiful minerality, stonefruits with plums and cherries, also exotic flavors of passion fruit and mango, fresh and smooth. Deep and smooth on the palate, softly balanced but powerfully complex. A great Riesling indeed!

2008 - Rothenberg Wurzelecht Riesling GG
A true monument of Riesling! Elegant, clear and to point, at the same time complex, deep and powerful. But never heavy, just brilliant. Perfect ripe acidity, great fresh spiciness. Love it so much!

Pettenthal

2017 - Pettenthal Riesling GG
James Suckling gave it 97 points which speaks for itself. The nose is filled with tobacco, floral elements, spicy red slate minerality, quite wild and powerful. On the palate the wildness continues, Kühling-Gillot calls it a diva which fits quite well. Very creamy, very long, full of power. 

2016 - Pettenthal Riesling Spätlese
Very present slate minerality meets peach and apricots in the nose, spices like clove and cardamom add to a great combination. On the palate a very fine sweetness that doesn't come heavy but with a lot of elegance, fruit notes of yellow apples, star fruit and pear. All elegantly integrated into the minerality. Very good Riesling! 

2015 - Pettenthal Riesling Auslese
Fresh and cool nose with unripe plums and pineapples and spices. One the palate fresh acidity, powerful fruit mix of apples, passion fruit, rhubarb, pear, ripe pear. So good! Super elegant Auslese.

2008 - Pettenthal Riesling GG
The #pettenthal has always been on of our clear favorites in #rheinhessen. This one is no exception!  So elegant, so fresh, so complex, so fun to drink. The cooler vintage #2008 is just perfect.

Hipping

2016 - Hipping Riesling GG
Beautiful floral, herbal and red slate minerality nose. Can’t stop to put our noses in the glass. There are fruit notes of gooseberry, lemon peel, slight peach. On the palate a great crisp acidity mixes with powerful minerality, citrus flavors, roasted nuts, salt, herbs. Finishes long with lemon and spicy slate. Wicked! It’s already quite hard to get because it’s really good.
