Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From the southeast-facing part of the vineyard, the 2021 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese is very clear, pure and flinty on the concentrated nose. Sweet, refined and very elegant on the palate, this is a weightless, saline and filigreed, playful Spätlese with great balance and delicacy. Not dramatic but quiet and in beautiful balance. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

Description
Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese is characterised as a classic and elegant Spätlese (late harvest) style wine, rich in fruity aromas. Despite its impressive concentration, this wine stands out for its elegance and lightness, describing itself as a young dancer. Its taste is a combination of refined sweetness and a delicacy that makes it unforgettable on the palate. It also has a mineral character due to the rich soils of black-grey schist and volcanic elements from which the grapes come. These soils, together with the vineyard's location on a perfect south-facing slope, contribute to the complexity and depth of this wine.
The vineyard from which this wine originates has a legendary history, having been recognised and highly valued for over 100 years. The vines have an average age of 70 years, and yields remain around 40 hl/ha.
