One of the finest Riesling St.-Hippolytes Deiss has produced, the 2000 has a nose crammed with pears and minerals. A highly focused, extracted wine, it is light to medium-bodied and has excellent underlying intensity. Loads of minerals can be discerned in its tight but well-stocked depth of fruit. Projected maturity: 2005-2010. According to Deiss, "2000 was a vintage of great weather, yet one that carries with it problems of balance, like all great vintages. Some will consider these wines as too rich and having too much alcohol or residual sugar." He added that "2001 presented us with climatic chaos but the end result is as great as 2000." Deiss, a bio-dynamic farmer, stressed that he never chaptalizes his wines, including the reds.Importer: New Castle Imports, Inc., Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463
