Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Herrenletten is located on the eastern slope below the town of Haardt. The loamy, deep Latvian soil has a large water storage capacity and optimally supplies the vines even in dry periods. The Riesling exudes an intense scent of cherry blossom and orange zest, ripe apricot and apricot kernels as well as a delicate hint of roasted hazelnuts. On the palate it is very juicy, salty and carries enormous tension. Orange peel and apricots open up with time and air and become more and more intense. Dense and complex."

"The 2021 Haardter Herrenletten Riesling trocken VDP. Erste Lage offers a deep, pure and concentrated, almost rich but very elegant and even refined bouquet of iodine and ripe fruits. Full-bodied, intense and remarkably concentrated on the palate, this is a dense, saline and refreshingly mineral Riesling from the Letten Keuper soils in Haardt. The finish is long, fresh and complex and reveals fine tannins. This is another excellent, age-worthy 1er cru from Stephan Attmann that deserves the highest interest. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022." -SR, 12/30/22
