Niederhausen HERMANNSBERG Riesling dry GG

Hermannsberg is one of Germany's great Riesling vineyards — and this wine takes the time it needs to show it.

The Niederhausen Hermannsberg winery is located in the Nahe Valley, one of the country's most mineral-driven wine regions. The steep slopes on porphyry and melaphyre rock define the style of the wines: cool, complex, with a mineral framework that unfolds only slowly.

The nose initially reveals flint and graphite, accompanied by cool herbs like mint and a hint of stone. On the palate, ripe apple fruit with a slightly sweet note, delicately juicy and vibrant. The body is firm, powerful, and structured—slightly astringent, with a piquancy that stimulates salivation. The herbal, salty minerality unfolds slowly, almost languidly, accompanied by a subtle extract sweetness. The long finish brings tart citrus fruits, candied pineapple, and a hint of biscuit—deep, complex, and lingering.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Drinking window 2026–2035. Pairs well with sole fillet with caper butter, scallops or mature Comté cheese.
