Kinheimer Hubertuslay Eiswein, Dr. Hermann 2023

Picked on January 9, 2024, at 150° Oechsle with frozen botrytis berries, the intensely amber-colored, radiant 2023 Kinheimer Hubertuslay Riesling Eiswein opens with a clear and aromatic, concentrated and savory bouquet of dried fruits such as dates and apricots but also tea and lemon chutney and even saline aromas. Rich and generous on the palate, this is a textural and sweet, concentrated and enormously piquant-finishing Eiswein that tastes more like an Eiswein-Trockenbeerenauslese ("yet at half of the price," as Christian Hermann adds with a smile). 110 liters made. This has 220 grams per liter of residual sugar, 14 grams per liter of total acidity and 6.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 30 24 in January 2025. 2023-2100.
