Keller Nierstein Hipping Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2022

97 Points - James Suckling

A super-cool and super-mineral dry riesling with stunning precision and racy drive that propel this forward at warp speed. A cornucopia of herbs, citrus zest and berries at the pristine finish.

95 Points - Vinous

Already on the nose, the savory herbal, meaty and mineral mélange here mouthwateringly reminds me of escargot, not to mention red Burgundies, which is a cause to wonder how such scents and flavors could possibly arise from these grapes. In terms of explicit fruit identity, the most one discerns here is fresh lemon, which however serves for more than enough bright juiciness to animate and refresh through a prodigious finish. There is a combination of underlying richness with spine-tingling electricity – to say nothing of intrigue – that will absorb you for hours (indeed years) if you can afford both the time and the wine.
