Heymann Löwenstein Schieferterrassen Riesling 2018

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2018 Riesling Schieferterrassen comes exclusively from the Winningen single vineyards Brückstück and Hamm. The wine displays a yeasty bouquet with a delicate, crystalline slate aroma and intense yet elegant and refined fruit. Fresh and pure on the palate, this is a linear, refined and clear dry Riesling with fine tannin grip and a very good, intense and stimulatingly salty finish. The wine is light to medium-bodied but has remarkable intensity. This is a stunning wine for such a warm and dry vintage. ‘The must weights weren’t that high and the acidity not that low,’ says Sarah Löwenstein. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
