 Tasted by freka586 on 4/6/2024: Drinking so well right now! Lot's of life left, no rush. (204 views)
 Tasted by thitus on 3/5/2022 & rated 90 points: Husets riesling, gör oss aldrig besvikna. Smått begynnande mognadstoner. Ack så gott och välbalanserat utan att för den skull på något sätt vara stort eller komplext. (1338 views)
 Tasted by oropeza on 1/21/2022: Green grass, lime, long and lean, good seafood wine, close to a Sauv Blanc character than say a Mosel Riesling. Fun! (1151 views)
 Tasted by Nyllet on 7/22/2021 & rated 89 points: Lovely as always. Stonefruit, citrus and minerality. Balanced acidity. (1670 views)
 Tasted by jrick on 5/18/2021 & rated 90 points: Nicely balanced, ripe but fresh. Lemon, apple and white peach existing alongside white flowers, salt and chalky minerals. A real steal at the price, about EUR 15,5 here in Sweden. (1887 views)
 Tasted by skoglund_98 on 3/6/2021: Passade bra till räksoppa., balanserat och smakrikt. (1892 views)
 Tasted by skoglund_98 on 1/29/2021: Onlineprovning med Johan Lidby vinhandel och Leitz. Drack till pasta med räkor, vitlök, bladpersilja och citron. Det här vinet mötte syran bra, mycket gott. Smak av mineral och vita persikor. Kan lagras 3-10 år och vinner nog på det. (1214 views)
 Tasted by R J Lewis on 1/23/2021: N: medium (+) intensity. Really attractive aromas of ripe apple, stone fruits, floral notes. Has a ripe, generous character.
P: the acidity is fresh but really integrated. The wine broadens out on the palate, with the acidity supporting that lovely generous ripe fruit. A hint of stoney/pebble like minerality. Some lemon sherbet on the finish. Medium finish.

Lovely vintage for this wine. Great balance of fruit with typical Riesling notes. Not austere or sour in the slightest. Great wine for any Riesling doubters out there. (1125 views)
 Tasted by petterkalle on 1/14/2021 & rated 88 points: To young. High acid. Potential to do better. Wait a couple of years. (831 views)

#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)

Rheingau

VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info

The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions.
