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...

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...

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: 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, 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...

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, 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, 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, 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.

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.

Antonio Galloni's 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...

Antonio Galloni's 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...
