Riesling

92 points Falstaff"Smoky aroma, strong mineral note, wet hot slate, candied citrus, mint, flint. On the palate a tense interplay between fruit and acidity, lots of traction, citrus, delicate phenolics, elegant and firm, good length, beautiful and with...

93 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett opens clear, bright and complex on the subtle and refined, beautifully flinty and delicately fruity nose. Salty-piquant and highly stimulating straightaway yet still far too young to...

95 points Wine & Spirits"Most vineyards have a structure of topsoil, subsoil and bedrock. Due to its age and steepness, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr does not have any topsoil. The vines grow in the shimmer of shiny, weathered, blue Devonian slate. The soil...

100 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Vogelsang Grosse Lage is pure, deep and intense on the spectacularly fine, mineral and absolutely unique nose that reveals concentrated but elegant and spicy-mineral fruit with a coolish and herbal terroir expression. A...

95 points Wine Enthusiast"A reductive, yeasty funk still hangs over citrus notes on the nose of this wine. On the palate, the concentration, power and ripeness of the wine are made clear. Zesty and driven, it brims with ripe lemon peel and pleasantly...

94 points Wine Advocate"The 2021 Niederberg Helden Spätlese opens with a clear, intense, very elegant, savory and classic Spätlese nose, with blue slate splinters in its ripe but crisp and crunchy fruit. Lush and saline on the palate, this is a...

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2017 Alsace Grand Cru Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Riesling fermented very quickly and offers a pure and flinty note on the intense but (certainly) still reductive nose. Lush and juicy on the palate, this...

95 points James Suckling"So elegant and refined in spite of the generous peach fruit, this has a freshness like the first days of spring as the first green grass and flowers appear. What a precise balance of racy acidity and floral delicacy this has on...
