The August hailstorm hit the 2022 Riesling Sommerberg Grand Cru, which meant 50% of the crop was lost and concentrated the rest. This is from a granite site with more topsoil. Gorgeous white and yellow peach are perfumed on the nose, just edged with peach skin and citrus. The palate is absolutely pristine, so clear-cut, bell-like in its purity. It just flows. Despite its relative Niedermorschwihr mildness, the 2022 is precise, balanced, bone-dry and supremely juicy, with more lovely peach skin on the finish. (Bone-Dry)

An elegant wine, with real power behind the crushed apple, honeycomb and kumquat flavors that spill across a plush palate. Shows heather and green basil accents, which bring savoriness, while the finish reverberates with stony minerality.

A profoundly stony wine that may be too radical for some, but we find it to be totally spectacular. Astonishing concentration and purity, but those words are barely adequate to describe this great masterpiece. Incredibly deep stone fruit aromas with a delicate smokiness that’s totally fascinating

The 2020 Riesling Sommerberg is the second vintage of this steep cru, and Humbrecht replanted the 32.5-are vineyard on decomposed granite in 2012 and 2013 in high density (9,500 plants per hectare, all from their own massal selections from the Brand, which was planted in the 1920s). The nose of this intensely yellow-golden grand cru is impressively pure and aromatic, reminiscent of mangoes and wet, weathered stones. On the palate, this is an elegant, intense and fruity yet still not dramatic or tensioned Riesling with fine tannins and fine orange/lemon bitters.

This creamy wine seduces with an opulent mix of apricot, honeyed almond, baked apple and beeswax. Lush yet vibrant, with ample spice–cardamom, allspice and ginger–and saline-laced acidity driving the long, mouthwatering close
