RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Minerally and rich-tasting, with flavors of red berry, currant and white plum, supported by fresh acidity. Features notes of candied ginger midpalate, accompanied by hints of licorice snap on the finish.

92Vinous / IWC

The typical smoky minerality of Achleiten complicates apricot blossom, mandarin orange and subtle peach on the nose. Pleasantly sweet stone and citrus fruits are nicely framed by lemony acidity in this sharply focused and firmly structured riesling. Finishes complex, long and highly mineral.

91Wine Enthusiast

A rich style of wine, with a smooth and velvet texture that brings out a creamy character. There is freshness from green apple and peach juice flavors, the acidity a great counterpoint to the ripe fruits.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling

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.
