Heymann-Löwenstein Riesling Stolzenberg Grosses Gewächs 2020

- 17,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON: „'In the crypt of the dark cathedral twinkle the stars' is the winemaker's description of this wine. Vines on Devonian sandy slate averaging 40 years are fermented and aged in old wooden casks with minimal additions.
Particularly pale colour. Broad, peachy nose with more richness than some of its stablemates, though it certainly finishes dry. Lots of tension and excitement with a littl texture on the end.“

- 95 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Although this is a fire-breathing dragon, it also has beautiful stone-fruit character that makes it very sensual on the silky, medium-bodied palate. Major minerality at the complete finish, but this doesn’t make it loud or demonstrative, rather the opposite. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.“

- „Hervorragend“ WEINPLUS: „Etwas rauchiger, angetrocknet-kräuteriger und leicht tabakiger Duft mit gelbfruchtigen und ein wenig schwarzbeerigen Noten, nussigen Spuren, angedeutet Pilze und deutlicher Mineralik. Reife, saftige, nicht ganz trockene, teils kandiert wirkende Frucht, ein Hauch Exotik, Rosmarin, sehr feine Säure und zarter Griff, angedeutete gelbe Würze am Gaumen, nachhaltig, hat Kraft, gute Tiefe, angedeutet Pfeffer, kräuterige Noten, ein wenig Algen, mediterrane Kräuter, dann auch Teer, sehr guter, fester, mit Luft etwas weicherer, zart süßlicher Abgang.“

- 92 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Stephan Reinhardt: „The 2020 Stolzenberg GG combines ripe and precise well-concentrated fruit with herbal and floral aromas. Round, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a salty and pure but also rich and juicy Riesling with stimulating salinity and good precision on the finish. More baroque than usual. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.“
