Bassermann Jordan - Hohenmorgen Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2018

ANTONIO GALLONI: "Grapefruit and passion fruit are mingled with sea breeze on the nose and joined by a raw oyster-like mélange of salinity, herbal richness and meaty savor on a subtly creamy palate. Chalk inflections add to the stimulation offered by a bell-clear, infectiously juicy finish."

JAMES SUCKLING: "The very impressive nose leads with peaches and apricots, before moving into heady pastry territory, where bread crust and Danish pastries are in no short supply. The weighty body is supported by blistering acidity, and that makes it an extremely structured and sophisticated offering. Very complex and long on the finish. Drink now or hold."

THE WINEADVOCATE: "Bassermann's 2018 Riesling GG Hohenmorgen "VDP. Grosse Lage" offers a bright, clear and elegant nose with flinty notes. Round and lush on the palate, this is a complex, very elegant and intense dry Riesling with stimulating salinity on the sustainable finish. Tasted in Deidesheim in December 2019.

WEINWISSER: "Fünf Mell-Weine in der Pfälzer Top Ten ist schon eine starke Leistung. Der Hohenmorgen zeigt sich mustergültig als typischer Bunt sandstein-säurebetonter, pfirsichduftender Riesling auf hohem Niveau. Gelbfruchtig, klassisch auf seine Art, noch sehr knackig-jugendlich, braucht ein paar Jahre, wird im Alter grossen Charme und Harmonie entwickeln."
