Wine from Nahe

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...

Antonio Galloni's 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...

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, 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: 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...

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...

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...

Antonio Galloni's 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...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 95 points: Cask sample. From 50+ year old vines. Analysis is similar to the non Goldkapsel bottling but all the difference is from the plot (darker slate, apparently). Intense and very sweet and honeyed. Deeper minerality...

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, 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...

Antonio Galloni's 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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 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...
