Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Kabinett

From the steep cadaster Fockenberg, this one’s more dynamic and earthy, the flavors don’t croon to one another as they do in the Pettenthal – they “speak pointedly.” Each element is assertive. Maybe the RS is a bit too low but who wants it higher? A late-palate juiciness suggests more accord down the road. Hipping is tardy, after all.
