RATINGS

98James Suckling

High concentration of flavors in this one with dried apple, pear and salt. Full-bodied, layered and very, very dry with a chalky texture at the end. Minerality with power.

95+ The Wine Advocate

...fascinatingly pure and fragrant on the nose. Crystalline, lush and intense, this is a full-bodied, crystalline, precise, salty and persistent wine with linear tension, great grip and intensity.

95Vinous / IWC

Bittersweet, smoky herbal and nutty notes, along with an ore-like sense of deep mineral earthiness...generously juicy ripe white peach and bright Meyer lemon. The feel is full and firm, and the finish is superbly multileveled, but with a strong emphasis on darkly earthy and minerally low-tones whose resonance sets the tongue and tonsils quivering.

19Jancis Robinson

Crystal-clear fruit of mirabelle with the purity of the finest Alsace eau de vie. Add the most delicate fragrant touches of white peach and Williams pear... The palate works in a similar way, putting exhilarating freshness before juicy abundance.

93Wine Spectator

Cardamom and white pepper aromas and flavors give way to nectarine and gooseberry notes... The minerality is prominent, giving this a woolly texture, with hints of wet stone adding to the complexity. The finish shows grip and depth.

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
