Kühling-Gillot Hipping Riesling GG 2018

The 2018 Nierstein Hipping Riesling "GG" is very clear, pure, precise and flinty on the nose. Rich and round on the palate, this is a refined and salty-mineral dry Riesling with good concentration and remarkable finesse. The finish is pure and salty and reveals fine mineral and tannin grip. Quite coolish for 2018. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020.

The nose here is heaped with cloves, dried nutmeg, chamomile and dried daffodils. For all its floral and herbal intensity, the palate is quite tightly wound with cutting acidity and lots of citrusy flavors. Yet, it remains a deep, full-bodied riesling. Drink now.
