“With the Spätlese Goldkapsel
from Herzlei,
Christian Hermann,
proves that Erden
can be addictive.”
“Christian is undoubtedly one of the best winegrowers on the Moselle.
Year after year, the wines have become more brilliant, the berry notes in the noble sweet wines cleaner
and the drinking flow more animating.”


“The TBA quartet weighs in at 400 RP.
Noble sweet wines of such precision, raciness and brightness are absolutely rare, even in Germany. This quartet is truly legendary.”
“You have to work hard for 100 points, and four 100 RPs even more so, because they don’t just fall into your harvest basket.”
“Those who already own these wines can consider themselves lucky, as can those who still find one or the other. But anyone who has had them by the glass will have to realize that hardly any price is too high.”
“His Pinot Noirs, which are possibly among the most elegant, most sophisticated and juiciest in the Mosel, should not be missing from any cellar as long as prices are still so moderate.”
“…being the most animating sweet wines I have ever tasted in my life as a wine critic.”
“Christian Hermann is a hidden super star in the Mosel Valley …“

“Every year,
Christian Hermann impresses with its
powerful noble sweetnesses,
also in the 2018 vintage.”
“Old, ungrafted vines in particular provide the basis
for the top wines
from Hermann.”

“Christian Hermann and his team hit another home run and produced a jaw-dropping collection of wines, which shine through sheet precision, finesse and brightness. There are many highlights and classics in all fruity-styled, sweet and noble-sweet categories, and even two times wine perfection (for TBA) in a vintage that is not known at all for noble-sweet wines (and rightly so!) for producing botrytis. This shows once again, if needed be, that the Estate has now become a master in this unique category.”
“The estate produced its usual portfolio of wines, with in addition this year, as the Oechsle levels were moderate, also Spätlese from the Erdener Prälat. The collection also includes a set of GGs, two Eiswein (from the same juice, one being labeled simply as “Riesling Eiswein” and the other one as the “Kinheimer Hubertuslay Riesling Eiswein” and the three TBAs (two out of the Erdener Treppchen and one Prälat).”
“Christian Hermann easily produced his most alluring collection to date in 2020.
He used the filigreed properties of the vintage to produce a stunning array of light-footed, airy, and hugely playful wines which retain however the great aromatic intensity and purity which has made the success of the Estate over the last few years. The wines are true to their style at all Prädikat levels.”
“If intense playfulness and juiciness in fruity-styled and sweet wines are your thing, Weingut Dr. Hermann is one of the ports of call in 2020.”
“Christian Herman nailed the 2019 vintage, and this from its “H”, which is one of the finest values on the market, right up to TBA perfection (… for the second vintage in a row). The Kabinett have a bit more weight (something not unusual in 2019) but they retain this utter racy balance of great Kabinett.
The Spätlese are luscious and the Auslese moreish. The Erdener Treppchen Auslese lange GK is stellar, and set to be one of the Auslese
highlights of the vintage. The wines are among the finest we have ever tasted from this Estate and are all warmly recommended!”
“Christian Hermann crafted a spectacular collection,
and we were simply blown away by the mind-blowing quality of his wines”
