WineScores' Review

Special, satisfying, pristine.
This special 375ml bottle packs a lot of delicious.
Himmelreich (German for "kingdom of heaven") is the largest of the three single vineyards/crus/ appellations in the town of Zeltingen. Himmelreich stretches from the steep slope behind mid-village, to approximately one mile downstream. The steep part of Himmelreich faces due south, with chunky slate on top of the deep slate bedrock. Selbach-Oster owns major portions of the steepest, south-facing portions of Himmelreich.
It is intensely scented with lemon tea, bergamot and pristine stone fruit aromas. The palate is rich, but equally taut and perfectly balanced; the texture is slick. A delightful wine that makes me think me of lounging outdoors on a breezy summer's day drinking sweet tea and lemonade; perfectly refreshing and satisfying.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
