The 2018er Hofberg Réserve, as it is referred to on the consumer label, come from the main hill of the vineyard, and was fermented in Fuder and matured for an additional year than usually for dry wines (hence the late AP) from holdings in the front part of the Hofberg. It displays a beautifully aromatic and complex nose of minty herbs, spices, whipped almond cream, tangerine, lime, bergamot, and smoke, as well as more apricot and yellow peach with airing. There is a very delicate, flowery, and juicy side coming through on the palate. There is almost a feel of sweetness, yet the finish is very pure, spicy, and focused, and fully dry. The energy and intensity of the wine are perfectly packed into the silky and elegant side. There is just a touch of power in the background, which would make us opt to drink this in its youth rather than to wait too long. This is a superb dry Riesling. 2022-2028
