Albrecht Schneider’s maxim has always been absolute devotion to his vineyards and wines. His estate has been owned by the Schneider family for 7 generations, and today at vintage time, three generations are at work. The steep Hipping vineyard, known as the red slope, der roter Hang, is rated as one of the best in Germany, producing Riesling with spicy mineral flavors, exotic and pronounced ripe fruit with excellent maturing potential.


(Check to print this review) 92 points  Wine Spectator, March 31, 2012 "Interesting flavors of lemon curd, white pepper and red peach emerge in this lithe spatlese, with candied herb notes and a luscious finish of mint, cream and spice. Drink now through 2038."

This wine is very aromatic with noticeable floral scents, as well as some herbal and honey notes. On the palate you will find honey first and foremost, followed by tropical fruits (noticeably mango). This wine is round and harmonic. 

Food pairing suggestions: Great as an aperitif with soft, strong cheeses (Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Goat cheese) or as an after-dinner drink. Would also pair well with Thai food and most other spicy Asian dishes.
