Tasting Notes

Lush tropical aromas announce the ripeness of the Riesling Late Harvest. Sourced from select blocks in Hermann J. Wiemer's Josef, Magdalena and HJW Vineyards, this structured, balanced Riesling shows a subtle minerality that underscores its pleasing and fruit-dense finish.

Wine Advocate

90 Points // The 2021 Riesling Late Harvest comes in with 47 grams of residual sugar and 9% alcohol. Sugar becomes the keynote here, but this is hardly all that sweet. It's just young and lush. The sugar on the finish makes the overall presentation a bit nicer, perhaps, than on the other wines in the lineup since it covers up any missing expression of fruit in this rainy vintage. The price is nice too, but you will have to like that sugary edge. There's not a lot of intensity, but this still has a shot at holding pretty well. If I had a quibble, it did seem to get a little funky in aromatics as it aired out. It still showed well overall, though, so let's lean up for the moment.
