Review:
What a subtle, spicy nose with just a hint of smoke! So cool, focused and delicate. The mirabelle fruit slowly emerges with aeration in the glass, opening up a wide new vista. Patience will be rewarded by even greater elegance than the wine offers now. Drink or hold. From organically grown grapes.

Review:
"From a Buntsandstein terroir with a calcareous vein, the 2017 Riesling Herrenletten "VDP. Erste Lage" is deep, intense and ripe on the elegant and spicy nose that pairs ripe fruit with crushed stone aromas. Full-bodied, ripe and lush on the palate, this is a generous, dry and textured Riesling with fine tannins on the salty finish. The wine is less pure and salty than the Bürgergarten but more sensual, if you want something between Bürgergarten and Mandelgarten. Tasted in Haardt, December 2019. Drink 2020-2030."

Review:
This is like a top GG, but for a friendly price. Very deep and complex wine with power that is totally underplayed. The balance is near perfect and the finish is super-long. From organically grown grapes. Long aging potential. Delicious now, or hold.
