2007 Von Hovel Oberemmler Hutte Riesling Spatlese 750ml
Eberhard von Kunow is proprietor of an estate at Oberemmel that has been in the same family for six generations. He and his wife Hildegard reside in the old manor house which many visitors liken to an old castle.
The manor house, completed in the 12th century, was initially an added retreat for the famous wine-monastery of St. Maximin in Trier. Over the years many things have changed above the foundation, but the cellar is today just as it was 800 years ago.
WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 91WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Vanilla cream, slate, peach and lime notes are vivid and well-integrated, with a supple texture and bright acidity. Firms up on the finish, so give this time.
