White peach, apple and lime are accented by their pits and seeds as well as by raw hazelnut on a soaring nose that anticipates the infectious juiciness, glowing piquancy and bittersweet depth of the silken palate. As usual, there is sheer refreshment here, as well as transparency to mineral and herbal elements of which the corresponding Höllberg – impressive though it is in its overtly dense, more opaque way – can only dream. The finishing interaction of myriad fruit and mineral elements is almost kaleidoscopic and reveals a strikingly tactile dimension to its vibrant impingements of chalk, pepper and peach kernel.

Although the herbal and herbaceous notes of spontaneous fermentation are still there, they do not hog the sensory limelight and leave plenty of room for fresh fruit and fine spices to express themselves. Invigorating acidity and a delightful zesty exhibition of citrus peel inspire the palate with piquancy and vibrancy.
The 2016 Riesling Siefersheimer Heerkretz GG is deep and dusty on the nose, like a truck loaded with crushed stones and white peaches. The super pure, elegant, fresh and focused nose leads to a full-bodied, dense, highly elegant and harmonious Riesling with intense, lush fruit as well as tensioned grip and piquant minerality. This is a terribly young but complex Riesling that needs a while to unfold its talents. Highly promising. As always, the Heerkreetz is leaner, fresher and more precise than the Höllberg, which in turn is more lush, mouth-filling and fruit-intense. The grapes in the Heerkretz were picked in late October (between the 24th and 30th), macerated for up to 12 hours and fermented/aged in 60% stainless steel tanks and 40% large oak vats (Stück, 1,200 liters). Bottled in July 2017.
