Bert Simon - Weingut Herrenberg
Bert Simon - Weingut Herrenberg produces Riesling from the Mosel, Germany's most celebrated region for the variety. The winery's focus centers on noble rot selections and late harvests: the Serrig Herrenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese and Serrig Würtzberg Riesling Beerenauslese both earned 92-point average ratings from prestige critics Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate. The Serrig Herrenberg Riesling Auslese 'Goldkapsel' followed at 91.3 points. These wines represent the upper reaches of Mosel Riesling—concentrated, sweet, and structured by the grape's natural acidity. The vineyard sites of Herrenberg and Würtzberg, worked by the winery, sit in the steep slate terrain that defines the region's character. Riesling at this level of ripeness and selection demands patience; these are wines built for the cellar and for contemplation rather than immediate consumption.
