White Wine from Pfalz

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (96-98 points) Still a bit cloudy, the 2015 Forster Pechstein Riesling trocken GG offers the reduced, extraordinarily deep, pure, complex and flinty stone powder bouquet of a serious Grand Cru. The fruit is perfectly ripe...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Rich and powerful with a ton of stone-fruit and ripe-citrus character. Also, some real spices and minerality make this an impressive dry riesling that's now coming into its best form. Where is the Sichaun chicken? Drink...

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...

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, 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...

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...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Has extraordinary aging potential. Extremely backward, but superbly concentrated, with heady aromas of freshly crushed grapes, dry peaches and honey. Full-bodied and very sweet, with masses of spicy lemon and honey...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A smoky touch adds more complexity to the ripe yellow-fruit nose, and on the palate the acidity throws a spotlight on the long, very clean and delicately mineral finish.

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Königsbacher Ölberg Riesling trocken, from a stony marl soil similar to the soil in the Idig grand cru, is very clear and elegant on the nose; it delivers some spicy flavors along with honeydew melon aromas. Very...

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, 96 points: A super-elegant Auslese with stunning mango aromas. If you're not afraid of acidity then this wine will light your fire. Stunning brilliance at the very long straight finish. Drink or hold a long as you like. Very limited...

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, 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...

Antonio Galloni's 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...
