"A concentrated, deeply structured dry riesling with intense minerality on the firm, medium-bodied palate. The fine chalky tannins interlock beautifully with the cool citrus acidity and discreet creaminess from long lees contact and some malolactic fermentation. Long, complete finish. From organically grown grapes, 80% from the Steinacker GG site and 20% from young vines in the Honigberg. Vinified completely in large neutral oak. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Nieder-Hilbersheim was harvested 80% in the Steinacker site and 20% in Honigberg, an elevated, northwest-facing site rising to 260 meters on limestone with iron ore. It was fermented completely in Halbstück and Stück. While slight reduction appears here, too, this has a different nature—smokier, stonier. The palate speaks of the limestone coolness and serene, bright, pure ripe lemon. Elongated, tangy, flowing and juicy, it boasts a lovely undertow of salt and nerve. (Bone-dry)"

"Tense but with some floral notes as well as all the intense minerality. Still youthful but with so much fruit it seems more approachable than the Appenheimer. Leaves its imprint on the palate!"
