Wine from Nahe

Vinous, 96 points: The Fröhlichs’ signature site has never, in my experience, faced such formidable competition from their other Grosse Gewächse (which are also more numerous than ever, thanks to the post-2012 inclusion of Stromberg) but it...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A prototypical Kabinett with a sleek body, delicate peachy fruit and very fresh acidity. The mineral finish is long and filigree. Could be held for at least a decade, but it's so enticing now. Made from organic grapes and...

View From The Cellar, 98 points: After the brilliance of the 2011 Brücke Spätlese and Auslese, I was beginning to wonder how the sweet wines from the Hermannshöhle were going to stack up this year. Never mind! The 2011 Hermannshöhle Auslese is a legend...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Be prepared for this radical and fundamental wine that has more power and freshness than is decent or correct. The finish may be too much for you, but there’s profound truth in this amazing wine. Drink now or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Coolish, very clear, subtle but multi-layered on the highly elegant, finesse-full and flinty nose starts the 2014 Riesling Dellchen GG. This is a full-bodied, pure, very elegant, highly complex and frisky Riesling of...

Vinous, 92 points: A head-turning nose of cherry and apple with their flowers incorporates intimations of mint and cress. This combination serves for a succulently fruity and coolingly herbal impression on the silky mid-palate that...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Who could resist this beauty? All the flowers and fresh herbs of spring are married to considerable elegance and there’s a ton of minerality at the crystalline finish. Drink or hold. Made from organic grapes and Fair'n...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: At once elegant and juicy, this has a wonderful interplay of mandarin oranges and nectarines with lively acidity. Very clean and invigorating finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. Drink or...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A finely-nuanced medium-bodied dry riesling with plenty of floral delicacy, but also a firm mineral backbone and a long filigree finish. Drink or hold. Made from organic grapes and Fair'n Green certified. From the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ Coming from partly ungrafted vines down to 50 years, the 2015 Stromberg Riesling GG comes from the steepest and stoniest porphyry vineyards of the domaine. It opens deep, clear and flinty on the nose, with a very pure...

Vinous, 96 points: Violet perfume, mint, wintergreen, smoky-sweet pungency of machine oil and mouthwatering intimations of toasted shrimp shell all put me as much in mind of Nebbiolo or Cabernet Franc as of Riesling in a heady aromatic...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Most people who drink wine know what a ripe peach tastes like. However, this wine gives you a completely new appreciation of the meaning of the word “peach”. Beyond that, it possesses subtlety that is extremely rare...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Maybe this isn't the most concentrated riesling on planet wine, but the balance is so perfect that you don't think about sweetness or acidity. Yet, that's exactly what this wine is all about – an exact balance of the two...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: Some truths are hard to believe and this is one of them; it won’t let you go, so there's no way of denying the excellence of this filigree masterpiece. Almost endless finish that simply could not contain any more mineral...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese is lovely, clear and flinty on the nose and, like the Spätlese, is characterized by its noble aristocracy, but also lemony freshness and great purity. There seems to be...
