Green apples, slight honey and petrol. There is a sweetness to the acidity. It’s delicate. There is a slight wet creek rock meets little white wild flowers taste to it. I feel like I should be by a gently flowing river in spring that you would find in a Disney movie… maybe sitting in a canoe. I would pair this with a Pudelpointer, a water fowl retrieving dog from Germany. Both wine and dog are friendly, calm, and disciplined. — 3 years ago

Apple-forward and powerfully sweet to start, but unfolds gently into a well balanced long finish that leaves you craving for more. — 12 years ago
Each bottle is better than the last. Love this Riesling! — 13 years ago
Nose has moist brioche, browning yellow apple peel, honey, dried lemon zest, green herbs and seashells.
Palate has bruised yellow apple, lemon peel, nectarine, green apple peel, faint tangerine with great acidity and fleeting minerality.
Fine bubbles, plenty of pressure under the cork. A pleasure for all the senses.
This is the zero-dosage (nature) version produced for the 1992 vintage. — 4 years ago
Tart n lush. Zingy, only ever so sweet enough to balance the acid. Huge fan. — 6 years ago
The condition of the bottle was remarkable - the wine was fresh and crisp, like the day it was bottled. Bright with a tinge of green, no signs of TDN at all. Only the mellowed acidity gave any indication of age. Insane!
Despite all that, the wine itself was rather disappointing. Not really complex or deep, and finish was quite short. I guess it did come from a tough vintage. However, it had the classic Grunhaus lightness - drinking more like a kabi than spat. In conclusion, an easy fun drink that fell below expectations. — 7 years ago

So much mineral that it’s almost dry. The mineral is like talc. — 8 months ago

Joyous Mosel to celebrate the first signs of spring — 7 years ago
White peach, but not too sweet. Aged Reislings are delicious. Highly underrated. — 10 years ago
