Domdechant Werner, Domdechaney Riesling Grosses Gewachs Rheingau 2013

93 points Wine Spectator
"This lush white is filled with well-spiced, crystalline flavors of red peach, Fuji apple, pomelo and allspice. Presents a sumptuous mouthfeel, with a long, finish of cream and sage honey notes. Very elegant."

93 points Wine Enthusiast
"While dry in style, this effusively blossomy, peach-driven Riesling is chock full of ripe, honeyed fruit flavors. Soft tangerine acidity cuts through the lushness on the midpalate, aided by a sheen of minerals and bristling white-tea tannins."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Located in Hochheim, with its gently rolling slopes, Domdechant Werner produces the slightly richer Rieslings this area is known for. They own property in three single vineyard sites, all capable of producing Erstes Gewächs wines (known as Grosses Gewächs in other regions in Germany), the German equivalent of Burgundy’s Grand Cru. Kirchenstück grows the more elegant wines, while Hölle and Domdechaney yield more generous examples.
