  Tasted at Virgin Wines event. Surprisingly low acid for this breed of Riesling, and with a strong initial presentation of TDN. Quite soft and fruity, this lacked the spine one might expect.

  First impression, a high quality glass bottle and a high quality cork you normally don't expect from a village wine (Ortswein) and normally only is used when bottling a GG.
  
  PnP, 12% Alc., quite full yellow color.
  
  Nose: Reduction, a bit green, flavors you normally associate with spontaneous fermentation and corresponding mineral impressions. Good, like it.
  
  Palate: Fresh, a touch green with a dry mouthfeel. Concise acidity, the quite strong reduction hardly lets through any Riesling typical flavors. Nevertheless, drink animating, with a good balance and harmony. So, very well made, modern, international but possibly totally interchangeable. Where is the classic Rheingau Riesling in this wine?

  This is really BIG wine for small money. A bit more dry compared to the slightly cheaper Jacobus. A very food friendly wine. Pure fruit with razor sharp acidity.

  12% vol
  Pale gold
  A touch broader than the Jacobus, deeper and a touch more rounded on the nose – still very pure, clear and cool. There is a sense of ripeness that makes for a softer, warmer fruit impression, hints of honey, nut and toast. A super nose, perfectly delicate yet complex with a key note of Mirabelle plum.
  
  The palate is vivid with ripe plum – flesh and skin, the slate soils give a superb mineral expression and some grip, and stimulating acidity carries through to a long and fine finish that shows a touch of creamed nut. Perfectly balanced, sophisticated, stylish.
  
  2/3 of the fruit comes from younger vines in the Hendelberg
