  Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2006 Riesling Brudersberg Trockenbeerenauslese German White Wine 37,5 cl 9,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727889

  Brudersberg is not just a vineyard - it is the estate's own monopoly vineyard, a single hectare on Nierstein's famous "Rote Hang", to which only Weingut Heyl zu Herrnsheim has access. From this vineyard comes one of the most concentrated sweet wines found anywhere in Germany.

  Expert's Description

  Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2006 Riesling Brudersberg Trockenbeerenauslese is a German White Wine from Nierstein, Rheinhessen, made from 100% Riesling with an alcohol content of 9.5%. Trockenbeerenauslese, often abbreviated TBA, is the highest sweetness category within the German Pradikatswein system and requires individually selected, noble-rot-affected berries that have shrivelled almost to raisins on the vine. Brudersberg is a one-hectare monopoly vineyard, owned and farmed exclusively by Weingut Heyl zu Herrnsheim, planted entirely to Riesling. Wines from here are internationally recognised for their unique character, and a TBA from this specific vineyard is a rare occurrence even in good vintages.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense and complex on the nose, with honey, dried apricot and a hint of saffron.

  Palate

  Deeply concentrated and sweet on the palate, with an acidity that keeps the wine from becoming cloying.

  Finish

  The finish is very long, stickily sweet and complex.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve chilled at 12-13°C in a small dessert wine glass. Enjoy alongside dessert or on its own as a finish to a meal.

  Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2006 Riesling Pettental Auslese Goldkapsel German White Wine 37,5 cl 9,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727888

  On the famous "Rote Hang" - the red slope at Nierstein - Weingut Heyl zu Herrnsheim has grown Riesling since 1909, on land whose winemaking tradition dates back to monks from Worms in 1561. Pettenthal is one of the slope's most highly regarded vineyards.

  Expert's Description

  Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2006 Riesling Pettental Auslese Goldkapsel is a German White Wine from Nierstein, Rheinhessen, made from 100% Riesling with an alcohol content of 9.5%. The wine is an Auslese, a Pradikatswein category produced only in particularly good years, allowing the grapes to be hand-picked late and selectively by ripeness. The gold capsule marks an extra-select quality within the Auslese level itself. The Pettenthal vineyard lies immediately north of the estate's own monopoly vineyard Brudersberg, on an east-facing slope that gives the grapes intense morning sun and good ripening. Auslese is sweeter than a regular Spatlese, but less concentrated than Beerenauslese or Trockenbeerenauslese.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe apricot, honey and a hint of petrol-like Riesling character on the nose.

  Palate

  Sweet on the palate but balanced by fresh acidity, with notes of honeydew melon and citrus.

  Finish

  The finish is long, sweet and clean.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve chilled at 8-10°C in a white wine glass. Enjoy alongside dessert, preferably fruit-based desserts or blue cheese.
