Hipping Probeflasche Kabinett Riesling

In many ways this was the wine of the night...a perfect expression of what truly great #German #Riesling is all about: fruit, acidity, ripeness, minerality all rolled into one...never mind that #PrincessCharlotte of England and I share the same birthday of May 2nd, but more importantly this is very serious wine to lay down for my daughter, Maria Katharina, who arrived a few months later! #Keller #Hipping #Riesling #Kabinett

#Keller #Riesling #Kabinett "#Hipping" (#Auction)--as Klaus Peter poured me this remarkable wine, he said, "This is Maria's wine!" I believe him... what a treasure to mark the birth of your daughter! Sourced from red clay soils on the slopes of #Nierstein overlooking the #Rhein... extremely opulent, explosive aromas, packed with power, but also such finesse... reminiscent of a lovely Mosel Riesling. The balance is uncanny... so elegant, gossamer, the essence of spring. Like a beautiful Monarch butterfly!

Fark!!! This is heading to the VDP auction
