Info about the wine:
Hohen-Sülzen is located in the so-called Eisbachtal; and as the name suggests, the cold low mountain stream that rises in the Donnersberg massif exerts a considerable influence on the cooler nights. The difference between day and night temperatures is higher in Hohen-Sülzen than in the other districts.
Color:
Brilliant golden yellow.
Nose:
On the nose, the 2019 Hohensülzen Riesling shows powerful stone fruit notes of apricots, mirabelles and vineyard peach, underpinned by earthy and stony notes that give it a certain coolness and depth. Smoky notes and many herbal aromas enrich the fragrance and increase its complexity.
Palate:
On the tongue, it spreads out with lots of yellow fruit, salt lemon and a demanding beautiful acidity. Lots of grip in the mid-palate and long finish. A wine that can age wonderfully and should be decanted at its current stage, fantastic with dishes with concentrated sauces.
Food recommendations by Christina Hilker:
- Ramen noodles with vegetables and Thai curry sauce
