| TASTING NOTE: \"Life is too short to drink bad wine.\" Legend has it that Goethe wrote these T-shirt-worthy words in what is now Prinz von Hessen's Hasensprung vineyard, and they're a fitting motto for a winery that prides itself on making fine Rieslings. As if to call out this pedigree even more, the stunning label features the coat of arms of the princes of Hesse. This aromatic Riesling brings rich notes of ripe peach and citrus with an underlying minerality and crisp acidity. (Vintages panel, March 2017) |
