Bassermann-Jordan Deidesheimer Hohenmorgen Riesling Grand Cru dry, 75cL, WineBy Winebuyers

The Hohenmorgen is a rich and powerful Riesling. This dry wine is almost creamy. It has aromas of ripe peach and apricot, even herbal notes combined with the mineralic spice which give the wine its character. The Hohenmorgen has excellent ageing potential, so it can be enjoyed now as a young and powerful Riesling or within the next decade as the richness and the terroir character increases. The grapes for this Riesling were harvested around 10th October 2014 and carefully selected by hand. The yield was only 32 hl/ha to assure a concentrated, rich wine. The vineyard in which the Hohenmorgen grapes were grown is situated at the western brim of the town of Deidesheim, a historical centre of quality wine making in the Palatinate area. The south-facing slope of the Hohenmorgen site is only 2.76 hectares and is therefore the smallest and most exclusive vineyard of Deidesheim. The soil there is rich in eroded sandstone. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
