98 points James Suckling"The deep, peach and apricot nose leads you into this enormously concentrated yet graceful dry riesling that’s got the stature to stand next to almost any Grand Cru white Burgundy. Enormously long, beautifully balanced...

96 points Wine Enthusiast"Fresh tangerine and Mandarin notes dance on the nose and continue right onto the palate. Here, they are joined by a bright, vivid streak of lemon freshness that makes the senses tingle and the mouth water. This is streamlined...

* Hachette Guide (Very successful)"Managed for ten years in biodynamics by François Barmès, this estate has ninety plots on nine different terroirs. This Riesling has its roots in the warm soils (sand and pebbles) of Herrenweg, a locality...

95 points James Suckling"Still very youthful, this is super-elegant with intense slate character. Mini-banana and spring-flower aromas. Very focused on the sleek and silky palate, which you want to linger long over because it lingers long with you at the...

95 points Mosel Fine Wines"The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Trocken Uralte Reben GG is a bone-dry wine (with 3 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked on un- grafted vines planted in 1890. It proves rather backward at first and really needs a...

94 points James Suckling"A beautiful white that shows a hint of cinnamon and spice, spread out on the top of chalky and flinty aromas, which themselves give way to guava peel and lemon zest. Quite long and powerful on the palate, which frames a tightly...

93 points Decanter Jancis Robinson"Organic. Soils are marl/calcareous/sandstone. TA 7.7 g/l, RS 4.5 g/l.More grapefruit than lemon here, deeply aromatic, with notes of clementine. Vibrant and inviting. Like the straight Riesling, this is intense and...

95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2015 Riesling Clos Liebenberg Monopole is super intense and initially incredibly chalky on the iodine and slightly oxidative flor nose (in fact, this reminds me of burnt chalk) that also displays mirabelle and...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"Inviting, even beguiling aromas of lovely ripe and tart apple fruit play on the nose. They are fully and charmingly expressed on the dry fresh palate. Lemon freshness brightens everything and makes for a clean enticing finish...

Jancis Robinson"Rich golden hue. Honey, sweet spice, orange and lemon peel, marmalade. Charming caramelised edge, and plenty of length. Some botrytic influence here – but the palate is dry. 17/20 points. (RH)" Vinous Reverie NotesThis wine is...
