White Wine from Pfalz

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is like a top GG, but for a friendly price. Very deep and complex wine with power that is totally underplayed. The balance is near perfect and the finish is super-long. From organically grown grapes. Long aging...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Stunning nectarine, peach and papaya character, together with lovely succulence and enormous vitality, make this a breathtaking sweet Spätlese with a finish that’s straight as a laser beam and super-clean. From...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A stunning, bone-dry riesling for this moderate price level! Fine nose of sliced pears and honeysuckle. Stunning freshness and purity on the medium-full palate. The finish is subtlety reminiscent of Mosel. From...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: From 50 plus year old vines on yellow Buntsandstein soils with a sandy loam layer, the 2014 Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Trocken intertwines its deep and precise fruit aromas with earthy flavors on the nose to migrate...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: As bright as a supernova, this is an extraordinary wine that makes me dream of goose liver and roquefort cheese. Like peach-essence with a ton of lemon zest, this is staggeringly concentrated, but so pure and clean...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Christmann's iconic 2014 Konigsbacher Idig Riesling trocken GG is pure, intense, fresh, and displays chalk and lemon flavors on the concentrated, complex nose. Full-bodied and round on the palate, very elegant, intense...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Bright and pale green in color, the 2013 Deidesheim Kalkofen Riesling trocken GG from predominantly old vines on limestone/marl soils offers noble upfront fruit aromas of nectarines and yellow plums. Medium to full-bodied...

Vinous, 90 points: Subdued on the nose compared with its generic counterpart, this ultimately proves both more rarefied and more engaging. Juicy lime and grapefruit are suffused with basil and mint, with hints of blackcurrant emerging on a...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Wonderful pink-grapefruit and muscat nose that bowls you over. So joyful and really rather subtle for a seriously aromatic grape variety. Very bright finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Vinous, 96 points: Sage, marjoram and white pepper practically assault the nose in a fashion that signals “Pechstein” before it suggests “nobly sweet,” although hints of candied lime and glazed pineapple do anticipate the ennobled, sweet...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Stand back for the arrival of a giant! Super-fresh nectarine, vanilla and Thai-basil aromas that don't leave you in any doubt that this is a very remarkable dry riesling. Then the tidal wave of minerality comes through at...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: More open-hearted and generous on the nose, with floral notes and white tea aromas intertwined with ripe stone fruits and weathered stone, the 2017 Riesling (Gimmeldinger) Mandelgarten "VDP. Erste Lage" is a lush and...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Very lemony and flinty, this is quite a sleek and seriously mineral dry wine with a long, deep finish. Better from 2018. Screw cap closure. - Stuart Pigott

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Mind-boggling purity and brilliance make the enormously concentrated mango, papaya and dried-apricot aromas light up like fireworks in the sky. What a breathtaking finish. Sure you can drink it now, but long experience...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: At this early stage, the citrus colored 2013 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling trocken GG (with lime green reflections) seems to be von Winning's most impressive Riesling of the vintage. Intense, ripe and piquant fruit aromas of...
