Tasting profile
A honeyed Saar Riesling Auslese balancing vivid acidity with rich sweetness, showing lemon and other citrus, lychee, pear, apple, and floral notes that lead into a long honeyed finish. With age it takes on an almost oily texture and hints of poached pear and mushroom, pairing strikingly with spiced lamb.

What reviewers say
“Die Weine der Saar spielen ihren Säurevorteil in der Reife gnadenlos aus, da muss sich manches Gewächs von der Moser arg in acht nehmen - ganz gross!!”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Von Hövel Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · Germany (1,789 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 63.
