Wine from Nahe

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...

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, 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: There so much peachy fruit here you might miss the delicate floral and herbal notes. Ripe and succulent, yet clean and crisp this Spätlese has discreet sweetness and great balance at the elegant lingering finish. Drink or...

Decanter, 93 points: A mineral rather than fruit-driven Riesling from 40-year-old vines, that shows off beautifully the volcanic terroir of the Stromberg and Felsenberg grand crus. Racy acidity lifts tangy tart apples, fresh lime and smoky...

Vinous, 94 points: Bright and crisp on the nose, with candied peach, lemon oil and acacia honey aromas complemented by a whiff of brown spice botrytis. The lusciously sweet tropical flavors maintain a remarkable delicacy in spite of the...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A juicy and elegant wine that turns really dry, thanks to the serious minerality that powers the long, delicate finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Unapproachable, cool and aristocratic on the nose, the 2013 Stromberg GG reveals very deep, stony, flinty and mineral-scented aromas of limes and grapefruit on the nose. Deep and almost succulent yet refined and also...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is no top GG for its weight or power, but it's got enormous, herbal intensity and super minerally acidity that keeps pumping out the flavors at the very fresh finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green...

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.

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Generous fruit-salad character and floral notes make this the easiest of this producer's dry rieslings to understand and to enjoy right now. Yet, behind the juiciness, the palate has quite a firm structure and the finish...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2014 Kupfergrube Riesling trocken GG displays a deep, dark and flinty bouquet full of stones, herbs and purity, and some ripe Riesling berry flavors. Round and very elegant on the palate, this is a deep, intense...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: The Dönnhoff family picked two small lots of Eiswein this year, one on the 9th of December and the other on the 13th, and Helmut Dönnhoff decided that they would be better blended together to make one bottling, rather...

Vinous, 95 points: From 50-year-old vines that once belonged to one of Tim Fröhlich’s uncles, and a ruggedly and meagerly rocky volcanic soil, this Grosses Gewächs delivers, as its author promised, a sleeker, slimmer effect than those from...
