"The medium to full-bodied 2001 Riesling Spatlese Niederhauser Hermannshohle is the greatest Spatlese I've ever tasted. Its liquid mineral and spice scents lead to a mind boggling personality of otherworldly richness, depth, and concentration. This massive yet intensely pure wine bastes the taster's palate with oily layers of minerals, almonds, earth, and smoky slate whose flavors are seemingly unending (unendlich, as F. X. Pichler, Austria's superstar winemaker, says). This is a prodigious, benchmark-setting effort."

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.
