The origins of Weingut Höhn can be<br />

traced back to 1696. For a long time it<br />

was run as a mixed farm and today it is<br />

under the management of Jürgen Höhn who<br />

farms almost 21 hectares of vines. In 2017 he<br />

managed to acquire parcels in the Erbacher<br />

Marcobrunn, Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen<br />

and Kiedricher Sandgrub from Weingut Langwerth<br />

von Simmern. All of his wines show<br />

great varietal typicity, his Riesling Kabinett is<br />

playful and animating, the generous Spätlese<br />

from Nussbrunnen is charming, the Spätburgunder<br />

is monumental. An estate with real potential!<br />

88 2019 Eltville Sonnenberg<br />

Riesling Kabinett halbtrocken<br />

Sunflower fields on the nose, ripe stone fruit, apricot and<br />

peach, subtle spiciness. Slenderly-built on the palate, good<br />

varietal typicity, the acidity is ripe but vivid enough to give<br />

structure. Clear expression, fine sweetness, citrus fruit on<br />

the finish. 12,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €<br />

acidity. Generous, with fruit expression, medium density, fine<br />

spiciness and also good length and minerality.<br />

88 2019 Sauvignon Blanc trocken<br />

88 2019 Chardonnay trocken<br />

Ripe melon on the nose, pear, roasted chestnut, smoke and<br />

herbs. Juicy and spicy on the palate, well-built and compact.<br />

The acidity is ripe, the sweetness pronounced - thus harmoniously<br />

balanced. Pure wine for friends with good taste.<br />

12,5 Vol.-%, screwcap, €<br />

89 2018 Frauenstein Herrnberg<br />

Spätburgunder Auslese trocken<br />

Concentrated aroma of ripe and cooked plum, blackberry<br />

and cherry, juniper berry, beetroot, toasted aromas. Powerful,<br />

yet soft on the palate with ripe acidity and strong alcohol<br />

which is well-integrated. Monumental wine with a lot of substance<br />

and spice. 15 Vol.-%, cork, €€<br />

89 2019 Kiedrich Sandgrub<br />

Riesling Kabinett trocken<br />

Classic Riesling aroma with stone fruit, also some citrus<br />

fruit, apple and floral hints. On the palate, the fresh acidity<br />

and the residual sweetness become a good match. Slenderly<br />

built, lean, citrus fruit again. Harmonious, well-proportioned<br />

Kabinett. 12 Vol.-%, screwcap, €<br />
