Dr Hermann, Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese, 2007, Germany
Wow, wow, wow. This Riesling from Dr Hermann was magnificent. Off dry with complexity and length the flavours of lemon, citrus, peach. honey and a little petroleum made this a truly excellent wine. We paid about £20 a bottle on a trip to Germany. I wish I could have brought a case back. Even at £40 or £50 a bottle it’s worth trying just for that brilliant wine making.
Germany makes great Riesling and this Riesling Spatlese from Dr Hermann is a great example. 13 years on and its wonderful, amazing, fabulous. Its good in other words.
There are aromas and flavours of honey, blossom, ripe tropical fruits and hints of spice and minerals. A rich yellow in colour and a little heavier in weight than many Rieslings this is a delicious, magical wine.
We tried to have this with a chinese meal but drank it far before the meal was ready. At £12 a bottle its amazing value too.
