Häs'chen Riesling Grosses Gewächs

Score

95

"This is beautifully ripe for a dry Mosel riesling, with fragrant peach and white flower aromas plus a hint of floral honey. I love the feeling of stillness on the medium-bodied palate, which has stacks of structure and minerality but remains gentle. Long, stony finish. From an 0.275-hectare monopole niche site with ungrafted vines planted in the 1930s. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Dhroner Häs'chen Grosses Gewächs comes from a site of seven steep terraces, just a quarter of a hectare, facing east and planted in the early 1930s. The Adam siblings restored and recultivated this site, which benefits from global warming. The nose is shy, with just a touch of apple. The palate is all lemon, beautifully delineated with juice, peel and pith, linear and long. That lovely pithiness is tender and lends contour to this attractive, long wine. Gorgeously taut and so singular."
