Drink Date: 2030 - 2060
Botted in March 2024 after one year fermenting in a 3,600-liter oak foudre, the 2022 Hengst Riesling is pure yet intense and very mineral on the nose that reveals stony and spicy/herbal aromas at this early stage. Round, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a very intense and complex, firmly structured and persistently salty Riesling with six grams per liter of unfermented sugar that will integrate even better with years in the bottle. This is a full-bodied, vigorous yet refined and elegant Hengst Riesling with a long and multi-layered finish. 14.5% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
