White Wine from Pfalz

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, 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...

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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2015 Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling trocken GG shows a very clear and coolish nose, with delicate lemon peel aromas and smoky flavors of wet stones. Lean, compact and very elegant on the palate, with a rich and...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: The ripe-pear nose is very enticing, and although this is a substantial and juicy dry riesling, the mineral touch on the finish lifts the full body, and the elegant acidity gives it some polish.

Vinous, 90 points: This leans toward the earthy, mealy, smoky aspects of its site, but with lemony brightness laid alongside. The feel is full, firm and polished. Sweaty salinity serves for saliva-inducement on a finish of serious grip...

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, 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: Intensely golden in color, the 2014 Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Beerenauslese shows a very intense, super ripe, concentrated, spicy aroma with iodine and caramel aromas, as well as some herbal flavors. Rich and velvety in...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: I love the fresh and delicate white peaches. Then comes almost absurd elegance on the palate for this category. The finish has rare lightness for this warm region. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Deidesheimer Mäusehöhle Riesling (AP 2216) opens with a pure and refreshing, rather coolish aroma (compared to the Leinshöhle) of ripe yellow fruits intertwined with stony aromas. Round, fresh and elegant on the...

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...
