Prinz von Hessen, Dachsfilet Riesling, Rheingau

22nd Canberra International Riesling Challenge (Albert Hall, Canberra) : Honey, very slight almon paste, sulphur and green apple, slightly floral and citrus underpin. Medium plus intensity acidity, citrus more to the fore on the palate, very slight touch of fresh lemongrass. Hmm.

Crisp, slight citrus, slight effervescence

Canberra International Riesling Challenge (Albert Hall, Canberra) : The appearance is clear and pale lemon in colour. The nose is clean.

19th Canberra International Riesling Challenge (Albert Hall, Canberra) : A little marzipan, apricot, chalky minerality, cream. In the mouth it's juicy, fleshy, a little more savoury. Long. good.

Light yellow with green reflexes. Young & vibrant! Aromas of Stonefruits and little Grapefruit. Honeydew Melon. More fruit with Gooseberry and even Cassis (!). Freshness of Floral and Herbal characters. Straightforward, fresh and inviting with elegance and power! Flavors of, again, Stonefruit- mostly Peach- Citrus and Gooseberry. Beautiful fruity acidity. Decent Minerality. Intense, long finish with Yellow Fruit and emphasis on Herbal Spiciness (Anise!). In the beginning clean and tight with a soft and light mouthfeel, but developing power and …

White peach and ripe apple nose with honeyed florality, lavender, mushrooms and smoke. Dry and medium bodied palate with good weight white peach to ripe lemon fruit brought alive by fine-grained acidity. Round almond cookie -like richness and a bitter citric bite bringing nice tension to the balanced palate. Very nice showing.

Pale straw colour, almost no colour at all. Mild nose although at time of tasting this was opened for some time ( the things we find at the BA lounge at T5). On the palate it is at its best, light sweet kabinet like notes, light nutty, medium bodied and harmonious. Quite enjoyable to be honest in its lightness. 89

Straw colour. Nutty and fresh fruity lift in the nose. Structured, long. E. Tasted at the Prinz von Hessen dinner at Schlosshotel Kronberg.

Partly fermented on its skins, apparently. Very fresh and open on the nose. There's a nice open crispness on the palate. Works well.
