Andrew Jefford | Bright, pale silver-gold. Articulate, forthcoming aromas: subtle fruits and sweet dough beneath: very pure and pristine, and an absolutely classic northern Riesling in its grace and restraint (as opposed to southern hemisphere styles). Lots of doughy charm inviting you into the glass. In the mouth, it is grassy and full-flavored, dry, aromatically expansive, with lots of wealth and depth. It has structure and line, too. The doughiness and grassiness suggest Germany. Other wines are perhaps “stonier” than this, but peel away the fruits and you might well find that character, too. Excellent. | 94
Stephan Reinhardt | This is a fascinating, deep, pure yet also rich and spicy-mineral Riesling, with a coolish yet generous, complex, and elegant soul, as well as ripe and stewed mirabelle aromas. Full-bodied, intense, and salty from start to finish, this is a pure, highly finessed and elegant yet also intense and sustainable dry, energetic Riesling, with fine phenolics and a lingering salty acidity. This fascinating Riesling combines a warm climate with a cool and deep terroir. Although this impressive wine already tastes beautiful, it can also age for at least 20 years. 2021–45. | 95
Anthony Rose | Pale lemon in color, this wine has a sweetness of aroma reminiscent of ripe, even cooked, pineapple, and something savory in there, too. 95 94 Behind the slight prickle on the tongue, there’s a ripe, pineappley wine that’s full-bodied and Full-flavored, sharing twin structural components of clean acidity and a lightly salty underpinning; an attractively rich yet dry lip-smacker. | 93
