Wine from Nahe

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...

Vinous, 93 points: Picked in an especially exposed parcel a day before the “regular” Spätlese was brought in, this bottling exhibits a surprisingly cool note of mint and a bite of cress to accent its luscious, pure apple and white peach...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs is pale lime green in color and quite reductive as always at this stage. However, the wine from Schlossböckelheim cru is extremely precise and focused, with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Intriguingly musky and subtly fungal as well as piercing in its evocation of distilled pit fruits and botanicals, the nose of Donnhoff’s 2011 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Beerenauslese – which was picked alongside...

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...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Intense minerality, burnt orange and praline character. Full-bodied and very sweet, yet the acidity backs up the palate and breaks out and amazes you. Vertical and poised. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: ”‘You with your (expletive) Eiswein!’ Gabi told me when we left these grapes hanging,” relates Donnhoff, and in fact his 2011 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Eiswein was another of those that threatened to disrupt the...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is a decadent sweet wine with bright dried peaches, white truffle and light honey. Tropical fruit, too. Full-bodied, dense and layered with beautiful intensity and richness. Sweet finish.

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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Pale lime green in color, the 2013 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs is very smoky on the nose (almost Coche-Dury-like) and offers pure Riesling flavors along with aromas of limes and grapefruit. Very...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Still seriously funky (reduction), but behind that is enormous berry fruit and after all the juicy stuff is done comes a slew of herbal-mineral character at the whiplash finish. Drink now or hold.

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 2013 Felseneck Spätlese Gold Capsule starts with a fascinating ripe and aromatic bouquet of lime and lemon perfume spiced with crushed slate and some herbal aromas. This rich and enormously juicy and piquant Spätlese...
