Tasting note

The 2023er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb Palm (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from different small parcels on the western side of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar. This wine offers a stunning and not overly loud nose made of mirabelle, citrusy fruits, smoke, herbs, and a hint of bergamot. It is beautifully subtle and finely chiseled on the palate, where the ripe zesty side is beautifully wrapped into creamy elements. The finish is superbly focused and dry-tasting more than off-dry. What a beauty! 2033-2048
