WTN: Hot Isostatic Pressing*

[David M. Bueker]

2016 J & HA Strub Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Spätlese "Flachenhahl" - Germany, Rheinhessen (9/11/2020)
Striking levels of fruit and acidity in this wine. It was really quite electric, and impressed both geek (me) and non-geek (everyone else). Still very early in its evolution, there was not any evidence that it wasn't a newly released wine. With the potent peach and pineapple fruit, and firm underlying acids, this could profitably evolve for a couple of decades. That being said there is no way I am letting it age that long. It's too lip smacking good now!

(*seriously deep Engineering reference)

I googled it, but at least I guessed with word to google on my first try.

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I knew what HIP means, but am totally baffled as to why is it the title of your tasting note?

Ah - a pun on the vineyard name. I thought it might be a new technology for pressing grapes

That would be some interesting wine!
