The name of HENGST means stallion. Palish bright yellow. Muskier & more exotic on the nose than the Br&, hinting at pineapple, acacia flower & dusty stone. Then dry & energetic in the mouth, more powerful & backward than the Brand (the alcohol here is 14%, vs. 13% for the Brand). For all its breadth this is locked up today, dominated by a youthful, almost medicinal crushed stone character. Finishes quite dry & uncompromising. Lay this one down. Serve with Seafoods, fish, sushis, sashimis, carpaccio or tartar of fish, goat cheese... ...

SAMAIN is the name given to the most important feast of the Celtic world. It took place in November & announced the end of the harvests, the beginning of dark period. Coming from healthy grapes harvested by successive sortings, the Riesling Hengst Samain is a wine of a great complexity. Yellow with green reflections. The wine immediately makes its complexity & richness felt: a beautiful aromatic nose is matched on the palate with flavours of ripe pear & quince, with an underlying chalky intensity. The plump weight is matched by fine mineral notes & bright acidity which leads to a very long & fine finish. With this wine, you will serve the beautiful sea fish: bar, turbot, elbot, ray, burbot & the others. It will tease lobsters & spiny lobsters. With a little age, sashimis will be convenient for him marvelously. Old cheeses such of the old cheese like Comte, Gouda or Parmesan will be sublimated by this wine which sublimates its complexity through a language of the salt. ...

The wine is both fresh & rounded in the mouth, reminiscent of ripe apricot or peach, with a clean, long lasting finish. ...

The name of Brand means fire. Bright yellow. Aromas of grapefruit peel, white stone fruits, violet & white pepper are fine & high-pitched for the vintage. Supple, silky & nicely dry on entry, then strong lemony acidity lifts the middle palate & extends the finish. For the year, the tongue-dusting finish is authoritative & demanding but then this is grand cru. ...
