93pts James Suckling

This impressive dry riesling has a whole garden of fresh herbs and a wide spectrum of citrus zest aromas on the youthful and effusive nose. The juicy stone-fruit, citrusy character dominates right through the generous mid-palate into the long, structured, but silky finish. Drink or hold.

91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Riesling Alte Reben (White Capsule) is intense yet pure and complex on the nose, combining ripe fruit aromas and a crystalline mineral substance. On the palate, this is a pure yet intense and sustainable old-vines Riesling from different vineyards in the Middle Mosel. The finish is savoy and saline, tensioned but also balanced. 12% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023.

91pts Wine Enthusiast

A concentrated yet expressive white, which shows light signs of development, with its singed lemon peel notes. The midpalate, however, exudes peach, ripe apple, brown spice and slate aromas and flavors. Wrapped in a silky texture, with a finish that echoes with harmony.

91pts Vinous

The 2021 Riesling Alte Reben White Capsule is made from vines with a minimum age of 60 - 90 years and some centenarians. This is a blend of old vine parcels across the Middle Mosel. Here, just a little shake of the glass unleashes a whole chorus of bright citrus. Lime and lemon but also aromatic tangerine dance first on the nose, then on the palate. Zestiness is the name of the game on a slender, dry body that reverberates with citrus aromas. A real bargain full of flavor and depth. (Bone-dry)
