93pts James Suckling

The smoked-bacon and cool white-peach nose pulls you into this super-stony dry riesling that’s very sleek, yet ripe through and through. Pronounced cardamon note at the stunningly vibrant finish, which doesn’t want to stop! From vineyards that are 30-plus years old. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification.

92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Riesling Trocken Vulkangestein offers a clear and flinty bouquet of ripe and juicy white and yellow-fleshed peaches, apricots and mirabelles intertwined with flinty notes of crushed rocks. Round and lush but still fresh and piquant, this is a generous but elegant, refined and all-in-all coolish Riesling with ripe yet not all-too-ripe stone fruit aromas and crunchy fruit whose juice is perfectly interwoven with the mineral sound of music.

Winemaker Notes

In the glass a straw yellow color with aromas of a very metal nose, pebbly with some flowers.  Taste dry, clean and delicately juicy, thoroughly cool, stony and earthy notes, fruit pome, green, slightly acidic herbs, salt is added to the end, body firm with very precise and direct, deep, thin stature one touch sweetness extract, good finish.

A good companion for pasta, pork, spicy food, poultry, cured meat, seafood.

Winery Notes

While wine making has been in the family since the 1800's, the winery just recently developed into a rising star over the past few years, adding another estate to the elite in the Nahe region. While father Hans takes care of the vineyards, wife Karin and son Tim are the winemaking team. With a low yield policy (average yield around 50 hl/ha) and the recent acquisition of more great vineyard sites to their holdings, the winery is well on the way to challenge top estates such as Dönnhoff and Schönleber.
