White Wine from Pfalz

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...

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...

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...

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...

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, 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, 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, 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, 93 points: Ripe, concentrated and elegant, this has impressive chalky minerality on the long finish. Drink or hold (a decade should be no problem). Screw cap closure.

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...

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...

Vinous, 92 points: Sour mash and cider are wreathed in bittersweet floral perfume and mingled with corn shoots and chalk in this sappily concentrated elixir. The feel is polished and the perfumed and mineral elements strikingly persistent...

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.

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...
