Went pretty well with chicken kabobs (355 views) | | Tasted by btock on 12/14/2019 & rated 89 points: Sweeter than expected, but still a great opening number to a leisurely dinner with friends. Great clarity, easy drinker. Think this is in its window, not the structure to really transform with further age. (398 views) | | Tasted by btock on 3/24/2017 & rated 93 points: Damn, every once in a while you catch one just in the zone. Brilliant Kab presentation, powerful acidity but the fruit is there and they elevate each other. Why I keep trolling the German aisle, this is a style I really enjoy. Shimmers in the glass, light on the palate. Served with pot stickers and a smoked tofu starter. The way life should be. QPR champ again from Hexamer.

| By Terry Theise Terry Theise Estate Selections, 2011 German Catalog (3/1/2011) (Hexamer Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg Riesling Kabinett) ($27.00) Don’t you think it’s silly that Rheingrafenberg isn’t classified as Grosses Gewächs merely because Harald isn’t in the VDP? I mean, what does the quality of a vineyard have to do with membership in a marketing association? Not a damn thing, of course. I can’t give you a final note because this wine was pending D-ass. There was a toasted barley and quince dialogue, call it butter versus steel, but beyond that I’ll know when you know – at the June DI tastings. | NOTE: Scores and reviews are the property of Terry Theise Estate Selections.

#2014 Vintage Notes: 2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise 2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator "My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)NaheAn der Nahe erwarten den Besucher sanftes Grün, romantische Flusstäler und dramatische Felsformationen. Dazu gastfreundliche Winzer und ihre vielfältigen Weine. 2.000 Jahre Weinbautradition hat das Anbaugebiet an der Nahe und den Nebenflüssen Glan und Alsenz. Vor kalten Winden durch den hohen Hunsrück geschützt, schaffen milde Temperaturen und viel Sonnenschein ein hervorragendes Klima für den Weinbau in dem regenarmen und sonnigen Tal. Hier wachsen auf rund 4.000 Hektar Rebsorten wie Riesling, Rivaner, und Silvaner. Auch die Spielarten des Burgunders sowie Kerner, Scheurebe, Portugieser und Dornfelder sind hier zu Hause. Lieblingskind der Winzer ist der an Finessen reiche Riesling, ein Viertel der Rebfläche ist damit bestockt. Eine bewegte Erdgeschichte hat der Nahe-Region eine große Bodenvielfalt beschert. Die Reben wachsen auf Schiefergestein, vulkanischen Porphyr- oder Löss- und Lehmböden. Das ermöglicht eine Vielfalt an Rebsorten und Weinstilen. Interactive map on weinlagen.info |
