Tasting notes
The 2020 Herrenberg GG is clear deep and aromatic on the nose that intermingles pineapple and richer slate aromas on an elegant and generous but refined and slightly flinty nose. On the palate, this is a rich and elegant, juicy-textured and stimulating salty Herrenberg with a fine tannin structure and dry finish. Not as filigreed and aristocratic as the Abstberg but with more fruit and sensuality. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.

An animating fragrance combines aromas of peach and citrus fruit with the scent of fresh green garden herbs. But fruit and herbs are not on their own on the palate, where an almost graphite-like dark mineral expression makes a serious impact. Quite compact, but well balanced by a generous texture. (MS)
All the colors of the peach â white, yellow and red vineyard peach! Excellent ripeness, married to wonderful lightness of touch and fresh-herb delicacy make this a joyful wine Understates its considerable depth, in order to delight you at the playful finish. Drink or hold.
