Tasting notes
The 2021 Roxheimer Höllenpfad Riesling trocken is very clear, refined and coolish on the stony and flinty yet tender, beautifully balanced and spicy nose that reveals perfectly ripe and elegant Riesling fruit with rosemary and salty, darker-toned terroir notes. Lush and refined on the palate, this is a dense and complex, firmly structured but elegant, smooth-flowing and persistently saline Höllenpfad with a long, saline and juicy finish. A gorgeous Riesling that is outstanding again. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

VDP Erste Lage. New in the programme as a premier cru, since 2017. Limestone with red sandstone. 10- to 40-year-old vines. The warmth of the stones and the cool of the vintage come together in pitch-perfect harmony to reveal fine fruit-laced aromas atop a firm structure and acidic backbone. Cool stream, bread crust, green apple, apricot and lime. The lithe and elegant palate dances with salty grace and stony grip; ripe apple and wild herbs. Tightly hugs the defined curves like a roadster along the dizzying Pacific Coast Highway. Breathtaking beauty, with pure muscle and speed beneath. (PS)
