Gunderloch Hipping Grosses Gewachs Riesling 2022

The 2022 Riesling Niersteiner Hipping Grosses Gewächs opens with petrichor and lemon, adding iron oxide and potentilla with more air. A touch of Navel orange emerges with even more air. The palate has a zesty edge of grapefruit, a harmonious balance and a distinct but pleasant phenolic bitterness that makes the mouth water. Real pithiness shapes the mid-palate and adds much mouthfeel but no fat. This has body, energy and power but also elegance. (Bone-dry) Drink 2025-2045. 94 points Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous

From 40+-year-old vines, the 2022 Hipping Riesling GG opens with a deep, refined and elegant bouquet of perfectly ripe fruits intertwined with yellow blossoming florals, lime aromas and some herbal and darker-toned iodine notes. Round, savory and fresh on the palate, this is a pure, very elegant, utterly mineral but also juicy, intense and finely structured Riesling with a long and aromatic finish and remarkably fine, mineral acidity. The 2022 already tastes very well and can be enjoyed even that early. Drink 2023-2043. 93+ points Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
