The final wines in the Eastside
Stefan Müller - Niedermenninger Herrenberg Feinherb 2023
Light straw yellow, transparent with light green hues. Apple, citrus, peach, grapefruit, herbs, cream, white flowers, mineralic, smoke. Fresh and salty, medium+ body, creamy texture, balanced and long lasting. Great value for money, with potential.
Being on a huge Falkenstein kick recently, it’s cool to see a Niedermenniger Herrenberg from another winery. I wonder how many other producers are utilizing fruit from this vineyard? Krettnacher Euchariusberg as well. @Lars_Carlberg
Off the top of my head, I can think of six producers with vineyards in Niedermenniger Herrenberg. This doesn’t include a few grape growers who sell in bulk. (As in other parts of the Mosel, the number of growers is decreasing every year.) In Krettnacher Euchariusberg, there are about eight producers, six of whom have vineyards in the original Euchariusberg, aka Großschock.
All showed differently although 2023 has similarities to 2016, which showed really well and was nicely integrated. 2019 was good but showed better from magnum a few weeks ago.
Awesome. I just finished off my bottle of 2023 Meyer Nepal last night which had been open for a few days. It was electric. With how elegant it comes across I’m really curious how it shows with some age.
Stefan Müller also has vines in the Euchariusberg. I opened both Gisela and Müllers Euchariusberg Kabinett side by side last year as i was curious of the differences 
i remember Müllers Kabinett beeing a little bit „broader“ (still leaner than other producers though and with quite some tension). Gisela was without a doubt the best 2022 Kabinett I tried so far, bottle was empty in the blink of an eye 
A couple of days ago, David Schildknecht sent me an email with his impressions of the event, including the Meyer Nepal mini-vertical. As you probably know, he also liked the 2016.
Yes, Stefan Müller has a 0.37-ha parcel of old vines in the original Euchariusberg from which that Kabinett Alte Reben comes. This plot is just below the one nicknamed Klaus on the south-facing slope of Großschock. His other holdings in Krettnacher Euchariusberg are on other hillsides, such as Kapellenberg.
Good to see you again.
You as well!! Until next time 
Did you or @Jayson_Cohen have any favorites?
I haven’t had this wine in twenty years. It was the first Riesling I can recall tasting. Don’t remember anything about that first bottle except I enjoyed it. I enjoyed this one also. It is very ripe, rich, full-bodied, and dense with a lengthy mineral finish. Enjoyed the vivid floral aromatics. Would have liked it better with less weight, but this delivers at $24.
Gisela, meyer nepal, and the auslese were all outstanding
This was outstanding last night. Full golden color, but very fresh aromas and flavors. Definitely not short on acidity either.
FYI RieslingHeads
Starting December 18th any Riesling will go towards a worthy cause.
Gisela and Mia were my favorites already before bottling.
@brigcampbell is really trying to empty my bank account 
It’s with great pleasure!
