90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

From their own grapes only and from top vineyards in Lösnich and Kinheim but also some parts of the Treppchen and Würzgarten, the off-dry 2022 "H" Riesling was fermented stainless steel and bottled in February. Clear and aromatic on the nose, this is an elegant and refined, persistently saline and crystalline Riesling with lush and round fruit but notable sweetness. A stunning 66,000 bottles were made.

Winemaker's Notes

Light yellow green wine with stunning acidity, mineral grip where the sweetness adds lush and juicy fruit. Aromatic, vital and fresh with scents of herbs, stone fruits, fruity sweet and lively acidity. 

About the Winery

Dr. Hermann wine estate is located in the town of Ürzig in the Mosel. The family has been involved in winemaking for several centuries. The wine estate as it is now was created in 1967 when Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben's property was sub-divided. Rudy Hermann took over the estate from his father in 1974 and his son Christian joined him as the winemaker in 2001.
The vineyard area totals 7.5 hectares, with vineyards in the following sites: Herrenberg and Treppchen in Erden, Würzgarten in Ürzig, Försterlay in Lösnich, as well as Rosenberg (Kinheim) and Prälat (Monk)in Erden.

The vineyards are managed in a sustainable manner and the work is all done by hand. The work in the vineyards is particularly challenging considering that the slopes are close to a 90° slope. Harvest is carried out carefully with several selective pickings and the grapes are hand sorted through several selection processes. Gentle pressing is followed by a long fermentation process of six to twelve weeks in stainless steel tanks, with the wines maturing on the lees with no oxygen contact.
