Riesling Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ The 2014 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (White Capsule) opens with a clear and initially pretty 'Burgundian' bouquet, with yeasty and spicy as well as some sweet oak and lemon chutney flavors. When I...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: What makes this stand out is the gigantic mineral freshness that's perfectly married to its richness. This gives the finish a whole extra dimension lacking in the majority of 2015 Auslese. The nose still needs some time...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Riesling Ockfener Bockstein Beerenauslese is clear, rich and toasty on the nose, very clear, refined and elegant, with very fine Riesling flavors. On the palate, this is a highly elegant and almost light-weight...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Bottled in late 2016 with 5.5% alcohol plus 360 grams of unfermented sugar, the dark orange/amber colored 2011 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is clear and aromatic on the spicy nose where ripe...

View From The Cellar, 98 points: After the brilliance of the 2011 Brücke Spätlese and Auslese, I was beginning to wonder how the sweet wines from the Hermannshöhle were going to stack up this year. Never mind! The 2011 Hermannshöhle Auslese is a legend...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: Bright and crisp on the nose, with candied peach, lemon oil and acacia honey aromas complemented by a whiff of brown spice botrytis. The lusciously sweet tropical flavors maintain a remarkable delicacy in spite of the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: ”‘You with your (expletive) Eiswein!’ Gabi told me when we left these grapes hanging,” relates Donnhoff, and in fact his 2011 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Eiswein was another of those that threatened to disrupt the...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: The Dönnhoff family picked two small lots of Eiswein this year, one on the 9th of December and the other on the 13th, and Helmut Dönnhoff decided that they would be better blended together to make one bottling, rather...

Vinous, 97 points: Golden yellow. Noble aromas of orange blossom, vanilla and lemon candy are wrapped in subdued brown-spice botrytis. Vanilla cream and mango are supported by uplifting acids, giving this wine a lush structure and elegant...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The golden-yellow 2014 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese *** (White Capsule) displays a deep, clear, concentrated, aromatic and stony/smoky bouquet of crushed stones, lemons, ripe peaches and dried apricots...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The white/golden-colored 2014 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Green Capsule) opens with a very clear, refined and open-hearted bouquet of slate, flint stones, lemons, oranges, ripe peaches, pineapples, lychees...

Vinous, 90 points: From the portion of Juffer-Sonnenuhr formerly known simply as “Brauneberger Lay,” this "two-star" cask-nicknamed Auslese delivers a concentration of pear, papaya, licorice and crystallized ginger as pungent and...

Vinous, 94 points: This reflects a picking of grapes to a significant degree desiccated without botrytis, which shows in its striking clarity and primary juiciness, not to mention in measurable acidity high by vintage standards. Quince...

Vinous, 94 points: Despite 200 grams of residual sugar facing off against 11.5 grams of acidity, this manages to avoid the edgy sweet-sour tension of several Richter Auslesen. Here is where all of the botrytis in their Wehlen vineyards...
