2022 Rheinhessen Riesling GG Part II -- Heerkretz, Hipping, Höllberg, Öllberg, Rothenberg from Bischel, Gunderloch, Kühling-Gillot, Rappenhof, and Wagner-Stempel

Good results from Siefersheim, but then moving down to the Roter Hang (Nackenheim and Nierstein), the results are much more mixed, clearly reflecting difficult conditions.

BISCHEL

2022 (Siefersheim) Heeerkretz   Riesling GG 

A bit juicier than Wagner-Stempel’s below, round, medium-weight, but lacks depth, precision of a still better wine. 90/B+

GUNDERLOCH

2022 (Nackenheim) Rothenberg   Riesling GG 

A bit glossy, but ultimately lacking grip on the palate. Plum and other fruits. 88/B-

2022 (Niersting) Hipping   Riesling GG 

Perfumed nose. Light on plate, rather dumb at the moment, needs time to develop. 89(+)/B

KÜHLING-GILLOT

2022 (Nackenheim) Rothenberg    Riesling GG 

Lacking grip, medium-light, blah. 86/D

2022 (Nierstein) Ölberg    Riesling GG 

Some plum fruit, but a bit washed out. 88/B-

2022 (Nierstein) Ölberg   Riesling GG 

Mineral, dark plum flavors, light body, some persistence. 91/A-

RAPPENHOF

2022 (Nierstein) Ölberg   Riesling GG 

Some minimality, medium-weight, round, moderate acidity. 90/B+

WAGNER-STEMPEL

2022 (Siefersheim) Heeerkretz   Riesling GG 

Pure structured, nobly austere, long — a classic wine. 94/A

2022 (Siefersheim) Höllberg   Riesling GG 

Structured, pure, some crystallinity, very clear. 93/A
