"Lots of substance, beautiful bitters and superb salinity!"
"Here's a wonderfully fragrant, lemony, spicy dry Riesling that's both charming and racy. The long, filigree finish has excellent energy and precision." (James Suckling 2022)

Powerful and supple, fine citrus notes express all the finesse of this wine, with sumptuous, slightly latent acidity.

About the wine:
This graceful dry white with a lively profile has a slightly chalky texture, while the palate offers juicy notes of papaya and peach, with hints of apple blossom and candied pink grapefruit. Salty finish.

Jancis Robinson
Rated wine (guide 2023 ) 17/20
About the wine:
Less savory than the Kaefferkopf, with more citrus fruit but also a tantalizing impression of sour quince. Slightly smoky, as if there were a slight, seductive note of reduction, or perhaps the smoky note of spontaneous fermentation? At first, this wine seems a little softer and rounder, with a less firm texture, but it gradually reveals itself to be dense and complex, while retaining a mouth-watering freshness, with a long, pure citrus aftertaste.

About the wine:
Dense granite soils. The bouquet of this Wineck-Schlossberg reveals pleasant freshness and a touch of ripeness. Fine nuances of lemongrass and flint. The wine combines tension and body. A harmonious Riesling with a crystalline, saline finish. Well equipped for the future.
