"The 2013 Grosses Gewächs from the Hermannshöhle is an absolutely brilliant young wine and one of the strongest vintages in recent times for this superb bottling (and there have been some stunning vintages of this wine over the last half decade!) and an absolute must have for lovers of dry Riesling. The superb bouquet offers up scents of pink grapefruit, white cherries, petrol, a touch of wild yeasts, tart orange, dried flowers, a brilliant base of slate and lilac blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly refined structurally, with a rock solid core, seamless balance and great cut and grip on the very, very long, laser-like focus. How great it will be down the road to compare the 2013 Hermannshöhle Grosses Gewächs with other recent great years here such as 2012, 2011, 2009 and 2007! This is an instant classic!"

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.
