Wine from Nahe

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, 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...

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, 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: 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...

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.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Riesling Trocken Vulkangestein is sourced from younger (30- to 40-year-old) plots of the grands crus Stromberg and Felsenberg; the grapes were both picked a week earlier than the Grosses Gewächs Rieslings. The...

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, 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...

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...

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.

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 95 points: Like an intellectual who frequents the gym, the Halenberg manages to strike a perfect balance between finesse and muscle. At first one gets to inhale the usual herbaceous aroma, but in the case of the Halenberg it is...
