Robert Parker
"Harvested a few days before the GG, the Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese 2021 is made from very ripe Riesling grapes and opens with a clear, lemony, pure, fresh and finely concentrated bouquet with aromas of grapefruit, lime and slate. Pressed by the basket, it's a lush, generous Auslese, pure, saline and zesty, with a long, intense and very stimulating finish, with very fine bitters. The Hermannshöhle was harvested with the highest must weight and acidity levels, and represents the most complex and generous, but also the most precise Auslese of the vintage. 8% declared alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the estate in July 2022. (Wine Advocate 2022)
