“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”
