Importer notes: "Consider this Stein’s '1er Cru' vineyard; though it’s a 1er Cru vineyard with 70 to 80+ year-old ungrafted vines and a serious terroir of mostly blue slate. This is the 'other' Himmelreich and similar to its more famous sibling in Graach, the wines from this site always show a slimmer profile, a pronounced mineral fine-ness and lift. With only about 15 grams RS (just beyond dry), this is a wildly restrained and chiseled, old-school 'Feinherb.' I can’t say enough about this wine; for me it is nearly perfect."
Not yet reviewed; 2019 vintage rated 94 points by Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2019er Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Feinherb, as it is referred to on the front part of the label (the reference to the village is left for the side of the label), comes from 75-year-old un-grafted vines and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (16 g/l). It offers a gorgeously refined and floral nose of grapefruit, lime, tangerine, smoke, minty herbs, slate, and spices. The wine proves delicately creamy and fruity on the intense, complex, and yet seemingly weightless palate. It leaves a beautifully focused and precise feel in the already dry-tasting rather than off-dry finish. The after-taste is zesty, incredibly persistent, and focused. This magnificently light-footed yet deeply complex expression of off-dry Riesling is a huge success! 2023-2034."
