The 2019er Niedermennig Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb Palm (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label) comes from 60-70-year-old vines in the south-facing Langenberg sector of the vineyard, and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (28 g/l). This bright colored wine offers a stunningly pure and deep nose made of vineyard peach, mirabelle, apricot, ripe apple, grapefruit, and fines spices. The wine is marvelously precise and pure on the palate, where lemon zest, more apricot blossom, herbal elements, white peach, an ever-so-slight touch of whipped cream, and zesty acidity are in perfect harmony. The finish is all about precision, vibration, and persistence. What a huge success! 2024-2039, 94 pts - Mosel Fine Wines.
