The 1989 Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen Riesling Auslese from Langwerth von Simmern is an impressive representative of the great Rheingau Rieslings, masterfully capturing the elegance and depth of the renowned Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen vineyard. The 1989 vintage is one of the finest in Rheingau history, and this Auslese benefits from optimal climatic conditions, which enabled a perfect balance between ripe fruit, lively acidity, and the complexity typical of mature Rieslings.

In the glass, the wine presents a radiant, golden yellow hue, underscoring its maturity and concentration. The nose unfolds a complex and seductive bouquet with aromas of ripe yellow fruits such as apricot, peach, and mirabelle plum, complemented by candied citrus fruits, honey, and a subtle hint of wax and herbs. Typical of a mature Riesling, subtle notes of petrol and mineral nuances reminiscent of wet stone and limestone are added.

On the palate, the Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen Auslese 1989 presents itself with harmonious fullness and a clearly structured sweetness, supported by a lively, perfectly integrated acidity. The fruity aromas are accompanied by a pronounced minerality and subtle spicy notes, giving the wine depth and length. The finish is remarkably long and elegant, characterized by a delicate interplay of sweetness, acidity, and minerality.
