2018 Nierstein HIPPING Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Kühling-Gillot, Rheinhessen (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Nierstein HIPPING Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Kühling-Gillot

The 2018 Nierstein Hipping Riesling "GG" is very clear, pure, precise and flinty on the nose. Rich and round on the palate, this is a refined and salty-mineral dry Riesling with good concentration and remarkable finesse. The finish is pure and salty and reveals fine mineral and tannin grip. Quite coolish for 2018. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2020

Vinous - 2018 Nierstein HIPPING Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Kühling-Gillot

Zesty lime and grapefruit on the nose anticipate the invigorating pungency and piquancy and the generous, animatingly bright juiciness that prevail on the flatteringly silken-textured palate. There is a slight sense of looseness vis-à-vis more typical vintages of this wine, but that has its own appeal in terms of generosity and come-hither textural appeal. Smoky and stony inflections are present on the nose as well, but crescendo on the refreshingly sustained finish. - David Schildknecht, Nov. 2020
