"The 1998 vintage is very, very successful for Helmut Dönnhoff, and the Norheimer Kirschheck SpÀtlese has blossomed beautifully and is now drinking at its apogee. This is always one of the most delicately styled wines from the estate, which works beautifully in this vintage, as the wine delivers a fine bouquet of apple pie spices, pineapple, slate, bee pollen and still a very nice touch of wild yeasts in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, pure and refined, with lovely complexity, sound acids and a long, dancing and focused finish. Really a beautiful, delicately-styled bottle of SpÀtlese at its peak."

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.
