"From a prime portion of Hipping, this delivers a luscious, at-once creamy and tangy amalgam of pineapple, orange and lime with musky and smoky overtones and a long finish tinged with mouthwatering salinity and intriguing notes of iodine. This represents only the third picking of the vintage for the Strubs, underscoring, notes Walter, this site's predilection to easily gain must weight, slide into overripeness, and lose vital acidity. It certainly did not do that here!"

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
