Red soil Kirschpiel. Can't deny my love for KP's wines. Another wine of ruthless minerality. First time having this cuvee. Compared to the limestone bottling, I reckon the RR seems "muddier" and sort of "darker". To me, the Kirschpiel GG has always had the lightest minerality and profile. Ethereal is definitely the right word. The RR seems brutish against it in my head, but I really need to see the wines side by side. I reckon the RS makes a difference. Terrific wine regardless. — 7 years ago
As long as you don't smell the wine it's great. Took this as a recommendation from someone at a local liquor store. Would buy again. — 10 years ago

In the presence of the 17' Schönleber AdL, there should not have been another riesling that outclassed it during the night... But then this appeared. Young as it may be, KP's Hipping approaches perfection. Dumbfounding!
I think Jean and David at MFW described this perfectly, so I'll just leave it here:
This 2017er Niersteiner Hipping GG delivers a beautiful nose where reductive elements including minty herbs, smoke, bacon and needle provide the frame for some glorious scents of grapefruit, tangerine, candied lime, fresh almond and coconut. The wine has the purity and lightness of mountain water yet its complexity and density on the mid-palate are just stunning. One can feel the intensity from the high levels of dry extracts but these are magnificently wrapped into spicy and salty elements. The length and impact in the finish are stunning. The after-taste seems to last for minutes. The wine is almost painfully dry at this stage, but the sheer freshness, intensity and complexity are simply breathtaking. This grandiose expression of dry Riesling may well turn into wine perfection in a decade: It is THAT impressive! — 6 years ago

I thought it had bright fruit, mostly stone fruit with some citrus. Wish it had just a little more spice to it. — 10 years ago

Pretty - floral, strawberries and cherries with nice freshness & length, linearly carrying some spice underneath. — 6 years ago
