Description:
Sensational new discovery on the upper Nahe, a young vintner doing everything right; handcrafted fruit-driven wines of terroir. Anti-varietal in the best sense, the same way that Condrieu isn’t merely viognier; the best from the Rheingrafenberg are wines of deep site-character as rendered by riesling. Splendidly mineral wines into which fruit of great charm is interwoven. Fresh, with exceptional purity. |

Hexamer’s 2008 Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg Riesling Kabinett is one of several in his current collection to have fermented spontaneously. Honeysuckle and heliotrope, lime and orange inform the nose, and a delightfully delicate juicy palate is equally billowing and winsome. Smoky, stony finishing notes seem to rob this of its last possible measure of finishing juiciness. But it should remain a delightful and typical example of its vintage’s virtues for at least the better part of a decade. Score: 88. —David Schildknecht, February 2010. |

Offers a blast of lily on the nose, joined by peach and apricot on the palate. Settles down and stays focused courtesy of the bright structure. Drink now through 2018. Score: 89. —Bruce Sanderson, February 28, 2010. |
