Andrew Jefford: Mid-gold. Lovely warm, soft, peachy fruit scents: attractive and enticing. Lovely baked lactic quality here, which once again is based on ripeness of fruit rather than any oak intervention. Hugely fruity, hugely rounded. A smilingly maternal wine, ready to hook you in with its lushly fruity charms, lent a little complexity by some backing candy-bitter notes. Deep, ferny finish. All the warmth of this great summer, translated into fruited exuberance: well done. A little extra concentration and refinement would have given it an even higher score. 17.5

Simon Larkin : Mid-lemon hue, maybe some green flecks. Restrained, cool-climate Riesling aromas of green apple and lime, gently floral and gently perfumed. Good breadth of fruit, and definition, too. Hints towards the exotic yet reveals marked green-apple bite. The acidity seems slightly overstated on the finish, like a false balance has been struck. 12.5

Alexander Scott: This is in the same key as Wittmann’s Aulerde, but the harmonies are richer and the volume is much louder. This doesn’t feel like one of Germany’s greatest vineyard sites, but it’s a grower who knows what he’s doing and the result is very satisfying. It just needs a bit of extra dimension to be really fine. 15
