2015 Kinheimer Hubertuslay Riesling Auslese** weisse Kapsel

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The dry 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Hubertuslay Auslese ** (White Capsule) is from very fine slate soils that give power to the wines (not in terms of alcohol, though). Cool and flinty on the nose, this is a very powerful, rich, concentrated yet pure, elegant and even finessed Riesling with remarkable complexity, salinity and finish. Yes, this is a powerful and rich but also pure and finesse-full Riesling that simply needs to age 5-10 years. In dry vintages like 2015 (and so many more in the past 20 years), the Kinheimer vineyards with their deep slate soils seem to become more and more important. Keep this village on your mind, you will get more and more great Rieslings from here in the future. - Stephan Reinhardt, Apr. 2017
