The 2019 Riesling Spätlese Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle is ripe and intense as well as precise and flinty on the bright and elegant nose. Juicy yet very fine and elegant on the crystalline and lithe palate, this is a highly refined and stimulating Spätlese of great finesse and precision.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 100/100
All of nature's springtime joy and the epitome of autumnal ripeness somehow combine with summer-morning dew to offer one of the greatest off-dry German wines made in modern times. Breathtaking finish, so wonderfully light and filigree. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification.Drink or holdjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (July 2021)

AP number 15 20.Much more muted on the nose than the Brücke. But on the palate it's quite opulent with pear-juice notes. Still with light astringency. Needs a bit of time but it should be pretty marvellous eventually.Drink 2025 - 2040jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (June 2020)
