Bone dry Riesling from one of Germany’s top producers. Grown in the Nahe on sheer slate cliffs, the ripeness and generosity of the fruit, combined with the strict discipline of the terroir makes for a delicious tension in the wine. Corseted but available. (CW 11/03/15)

John Gilman
The 2013 Höllenpfad Trocken has only 2.3 grams per liter of residual sugar, acids over eight grams per liter, and yet comes across as perfectly buffered and balanced. The excellent bouquet delivers a blend of tangerine, apple, beautiful soil tones from the red sandstone here, a touch of mossiness, gentle notes of wild yeasts and a bit of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and a bit broader-shouldered in style than the lovely Kahlenberg, with a fine core and excellent focus, length and grip on the perfectly balanced and vibrant finish. A beautiful wine in the making. 2014-2035. 91 points
