| Lovely ripe fruit character, with aromas of peach and apricot that carry through to the finish. The rich texture retains a juiciness courtesy of the well-integrated acidity. Best from 2002 through 2008. | |||||

| A rich and dense wine with impeccable Riesling flavors, extremely concentrated. Aromas of exotic fruits and the zest of an orange lead to mouth-coating flavors on the palate. An excellent accompaniment with blue cheeses or as an after dinner drink. | |||||

| Hexamer is emblematic of the best of cutting edge thinking among quality-minded vintners. He's a vineyardist first, only thereafter a cellarmaster. I can only attempt to optimize in the cellar what I pull from the vineyard; the quality of the grapes is decisive. He often harvests riper grapes from another site (Marbach) but the wines of Rheingrafenberg are more filigree and betterstructured. He handles as little as possible. Doesn't deacidify, doesn't use dosage. The grapes are picked exclusively by hand and fermented very cold (below 12 degrees celsius) with cooling when necessary (but we often pick so late we bring naturally cold fruit below 10 degrees back to the winery.) Yields are controlled by pruning. We often end up with only six to eight bunches per vine. Most of the wines are whole-cluster pressed; The most filigree wines come from this method. 95% of all Rieslings are made in stainless steel, and only racked three to six weeks after fermentation is complete. The wines are bottled early to preserve their vigor Don't be mad if it ends up being Spätlese, because on March 9th when I was there Harald hadn't made up his mind. Nor should he have to be wrenched into our need to know now. The wine itself was unfinished but it was certainly the juiciest and most exotic of the 08 Trocken series. | |||||

| For many tasters, these are the Ne Plus Ultra of Mosel wine, and they have attracted an almost religious following...It is hard to put a finger on exactly what it is that makes these wines so precious. There is a candor about them that is quite disarming. They are polished too, but not brashly so. They are careful to delineate their vineyard characteristics, and they offer fruit of sublime purity. They are utterly soaring in flavor yet not without weight. What many of you seem to have warmed to is their clarity, precision and beauty of fruit, so maybe I'll leave it at that! What a fragrance! It comes with a lemony coolness and broadens into an amazingly flowery mid-palate that broadens even more into a sensationally ripe moonglowpear finish with salty rivulets of terroir; a deliberate yet dramatic crescendo. | |||||

| "Effusive aroma of black cherries, passion fruit and lemon oil. In the mouth, a hint of nutmeg enlivens flavors of vanilla custard studded with tropical fruits. Boasts a luscious texture, but this excellent spatlese's pure, salty minerality gives it a long and dynamic finish." Joel B. Payne. Note: review is for Number 5 | |||||
| Wine Spectator 90 | |||||
| Pungent, almost grassy, with herbal aromas offset by apple and nectarine flavors. This is open-knit and supported by a racy structure, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2011 through 2022. | |||||
