Heymann-Löwenstein

Reinhard Lowenstein's 2007 were so good that anything in 2008 would appear to be a sequel. The entry-level wines had so much depth and saline minerality last year that the single-vineyard offerings could hardly assert themselves. The 2008s do not appear to have quite the same intrinsic quality, but certainly possess a more vibrant acidity. In fact, the Kirchberg in Hatzenport, which had not always showed the same precision as the rieslings from the vineyards in Winningen, was just as lively this year. With his colleague Van Volxem on the Saar, this is the producer who has understood just what great off-dry rieslings should taste like. For most palates, the wines are more than dry enough-and pair well with food at a meal. As always, the Rothlay spends 18 months on its lees before being bottled and released, which is why one 2007 is portrayed this year Also recommended: 2008 Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer (87), 2008 Riesling Schieferterrassen (88), 2008 Hatzenporter Kirchberg Riesling Erste Lage (90).
