Description
The Hans Herzog Riesling 2018 is a stunning example of the artistry behind great winemaking, showcasing both the grape's classic qualities and the unique character of the terroir. On the nose, it reveals intensely aromatic notes of citrus fruit, ripe peach, and Williams pear, leading to a complex palate filled with lime, champagne grapefruit, exotic lychee, and subtle herbal nuances. This dry Riesling offers a perfect balance of freshness and richness, with its well-integrated acidity and a very long, refreshing finish.
Crafted with precision, the grapes were carefully whole bunch pressed and then fermented in French oak puncheons, where they aged for 9 months on their fine lees. The result is a wine that is both delicate and powerful, with creamy textures that elevate the natural fruit flavors without the interference of high acidity or sugar. This Riesling is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Hans Herzog, offering a pure, dry expression of the noble German grape that is built for aging and perfect for those who seek a refined, elegant wine.
