White Wine from Pfalz

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, 94 points: Christmann's 2015 Reiterpfad-Hofstück Riesling Trocken GG displays a lovely, deep, intense and concentrated lemon flavor with floral/herbal and some almond aromas. Very complex! Piquant and firm on the palate, this is a...

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...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Offers rapierlike focus and acidity to the concentrated and explosively fruity green apple, white cherry and jasmine flavors. Dried sage and chamomile notes linger on the powerful, well-structured finish, showing some...

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, 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...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Made from Riesling grown in the heat-retaining basalt soils of the Pechstein vineyard, this dry, intensely mineral wine balances nerve and tension and against luscious white peach and yellow-cherry flavors. It's silky and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Intense citrus-colored and almost golden, the wild-fermented 2013 Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling trocken GG is very rich and creamy on the somewhat untamed nose showing yeast and lime flavors along with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The golden yellow-colored 2014 Chardonnay Trocken R displays a very intense, fruity and also spicy bouquet with ripe peach and mango flavors, along flavors of lemon zest, spicy oak and toast. Very delicate, elegant and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Noble oaky flavors intertwined with a perfume of ripe stone fruits, lemons, herbs and crushed stones open to the very deep, complex and concentrated 2015 Königsbacher Idig Riesling Trocken GG. This full-bodied, powerful...

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.

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...

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...

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...

Vinous, 94 points: There is lift – almost delicacy – here, not to mention a transparency to nuance, that wasn’t exhibited by the other Grosse Gewächse in the present collection. Coriander and oregano, crystalline stoniness and mouthwatering...
