“Tropical fruits, honeysuckle and lemon oil on the nose. With its succulent guava fruit and juicy texture, this spatlese is more feminine than brawny. Elegant and persistent on the finish.”

“The 2005 Riesling Hengst is another large-scale (14% alcohol) Barmes bottling, and a striking Riesling so lush in pineapple and peach fruit, and so loaded with chalk, lemon zest, and white pepper (along with a note of juniper), that I might have mistaken it blind for a top-class Gruner Veltliner. The long, strong finish matches rich fruit to chalky minerality every step of the way. This is one of those drink-it-before-it-drinks-you sort of powerhouse wines, but that doesn’t mean it might not reward some indeterminate number of years in bottle. The affable Francois Barmes vocally advocates biodynamic viticulture and earlier harvesting to achieve balanced wines of juicy fruit and digestabilite. That said, more than a few of those I tasted were big-bodied to say the least, and certain of them could not handle their alcohol.”

“Its elegance belies its power. Apple blossom and quince paste notes layer kumquat and pink grapefruit flavors, while a hint of white pepper plays off the zesty acidity. The clean, lingering finish is subtle, echoing a lightly honeyed note. Best from 2011 through 2025. 575 cases made.” Certified Biodynamic
