Andrew Jefford | I had to do a double-take here to check that this was not my water glass: very close to a colourless wine, with just a faint green-silver cast to it. Sweet, fresh, and faintly leafy scents, spring leaf rather than high summer, but not much more than that evident in the glass, and quietly expressed. On the palate, the wine’s high acidity gives it drive and seeming concentration, with plenty of green-apple fruit. Pungent, bracing, stripped back, but successful in that guise; another well-conceived aperitif Scheurebe, if not quite a “fine wine.” | 86

Anne Krebiechl | A most lively and appetizing nose of ripe, crisp, juicy apple. The palate continues with this freshness that adds a slight tropicality of passion fruit. The palate remains slender, juicy, fresh. This is easy but appetizing. | 88

Stephan Reinhardt | Wine without color? Here we go! Silver rather than yellow, this Scheurebe is precise and fresh on the nose, reductive, of course, but dense and even intense albeit in a subtle way, and underlined by some deep and flinty-crunchy terroir notes. Intense and lush on the palate, this is a tightly woven, pretty complex and concentrated wine, with a firm and persistent structure and an exciting grip on the finish.

Neil Beckett: You don’t need color to get good wine from Germany. There are many years over which a wine like this may gradually take on a really great golden robe. Gooseberry aromas on the aftertaste and a touch of Sauvignon on the horizon. Keep this Scheurebe for at least 4 or 5 years. There is no need to hurry but a lot of talent to surprise you. | 92
