Jasmine, pronounced white floral note on the nose, honey, ripe yellow peach, tangerine peel, slightly ground ginger and mineral. Touch of plastic and steel on the nose. Rounder on a second day. pineapple aftertaste. Classic German Riesling.

Deep red soil quality. Rich, almost oily. Huge acidity. Finish just a bit coarse & earthy. Young vines? An estate that's on the up, nonetheless. #rheinheissen #riesling

wow, tight as a bowstring, rigid acidic backbone - austere faint stone fruit, maybe some lime, but mostly river rocks, crushed stones - flinty, salty, just a huge vein of minerality & some salinity. focused tension, reminds me of (Grosset) Polish Hill from Clare Valley that needs 20 yrs
