"The 2013 Hermannshöhle Auslese from Weingut Dönnhoff is another absolutely monumental example of the vintage. The wine is very heavily glazed, but once again, the absolutely pristine nature of the botrytis in the Dönnhoff wines gives this wine a clarity and refinement that is very rare with such heavily glazed wines. The gorgeous bouquet is a stunning mix of sweet grapefruit, tangerine, candied violets, great minerality, citrus zest and a very gentle note of petrol. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and the most filigreed of these three amazingly beautiful Auslesen, with a great core of fruit, ripe, electric acids, seamless grace and beauty on the backend and a very, very long and magical finish. A great, great wine in the making! "

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
