Domdechant Werner
Hochheimer Hölle Riesling Spätlese
Rheingau, Germany
Bright beige gold. Abundant nose and medium palate of crisp red apple, white flowers, honey, and a hint of flinty mineral. Medium acidity, slightly low for the appellation. Medium long finish. Excellent Rhein Range Riesling that's great with a spicy leaning (think chipotle or ancho chile) fare as well as fresh fruit and fruit based desserts. Drink now for the fruit, by 2037 for the development.

May 20th, 2024Star bright golden yellow. Inviting nose of yellow apple and wet stone. Medium palate confirms the nose with bracing, classic Rheingau acidity and a slight presence of cement block. Spätlese from Rheingau tends to mean more flavor complexity than outright sweetness relative to their Mosel counterparts. No exception here, though a wee bit fatter than some others I've had. Great now with roast pork or cream sauces. Should reward after some time. Drink now through 2035.
