This is the Riesling Trocken (dry). Beautiful citrus fruit, lemon curd, hint jasmine and a faint touch of peach as it reaches close to room temp. lacks this wow haven‘t had this before - effect. Some sulfur on the nose which needs to breathe out. Good wine. — 7 months ago

Just a brilliant brilliant wine. I cannot believe the value here. Nose is just sick. Deep berry, raspberry, cherry, sour cherry, blueberry, woodshop shavings, violets and other florals and so much more. This has so much stuffing it’s crazy. Extraordinary palate that is at once dense and at once nimble. Unreal sweet fruit and unreal, albeit youthful fruit and astonishing length. Crazy intense and brilliant inner mouth aromas and such complexity. Structure to burn and let’s see where we are in a few hours. Wow. — 9 months ago

So so intense, clean mineral lines & voluminous on palate-tasted blind my friend thought Chardonnay. 50 shades of apricot, a squeeze of petrol at end of long finish. Enough padding to be also Uber enjoyable. — 2 years ago

The future of sparkling wine is here. Chardonnay on limestone but in Saulheim. Unreal nose. Wow. Deep notes of green apple, butter, earth and minerals. So ebullient and expressive. This totally smells German but still has a foot in Champagne. Some notes of lime blossom emerge as well with air. This is like a $60 Champagne nose. Palate is awesome. Full of sweet lime fruit and very lemony and super crisp. Such cut and precision. Awesome chewiness and density while remaining light on its feet. It’s a very mineral wine. It almost seems Brut Nature but it’s classified as Brut. — 2 years ago

Gorgeous nose. Fresh mowed grass. Peach, apricot, minerals and some vulcanized rubber. Very petty. Amazing how sugar changes the whole equation. Nose gains depth and breadth as it airs out. Palate is lights out with unreal fresh layers of fruit, peach, apricot and white peach. Nose gets more evocative and blends limestone and vineyard peach. Such a summer wine. And likely great with food. Dense, light, nimble and just the right amount of barely there sweetness. Outstanding. — 5 years ago

Last drank 4 mo ago; aromas on this bottle are more intense than my previous notes. Lots of sappy red fruit, dark rose, and a lot of violets. Palate also sappy, with tart acid. Really a fantastic value at around 20 USD. Bought a case; will go well with Thanksgiving dinner. — 8 months ago

One of my favorite sleeper wines in my portfolio. Nose has lemon pith and flesh and a hint of creaminess. Gorgeous and clear minerals. Smells like a scene in nature. So vivid and like a field. Palate is just so complete with lemon, grapefruit and green apple flavors and a lovely limestone minerality throughout and tons of sap and length. With air the nose has a unique grassy element. Really fresh and perfectly integrated acidity. This is the type of wine restaurants in the usa need by the glass. Of course it would be overpriced but at least it will be great. Really picking up some finesse now with air. This is so well made. Nose is stanky mineral now. Also so saline. Sea breeze. Palate has such grace and a quiet density. Round and fresh. — a year ago

I adore this wine as there is nothing like it in Germany or the wine world at large. One foot in the Cote de Beaune, one foot in Saulheim and one foot somewhere else. Nose is so giving and intense. Some toasty wood, but minerals blaring underneath, and just gorgeous limestone minerality but what stands out is the absolute purity aromatically and on the palate. Seductive and rich but oh my god the purity is out of this world. So fine, so elegant, and so nimble. The combo of richness/decadence and nimbleness allied also the most filigree one can imagine makes this a knockout. This is just profound. Finish is endless and this is at once delicate and rich. This wine is a contradiction that works. This is so elegant, so delicate and the controlled richness is out of this world. — 8 months ago

Quite light straw colour . Green apple , lemon rind , white flowers and wet stones . On the palate high acidity balanced with hint of sweetness . Green apple , lime freshness , cool stony notes , good length and balanced alcohol . Simple but effective . Drink now but no rush over the next decade I should imagine . — 2 years ago

Confectionary nose that is teeming with energy. Awesome minerals, sugar snap peas and airiness. So clean and intense. Awesome. Has that 19 lift. Rich, yet also so energetic and crisp. Has terrific fruit intensity like apricot and kumquat but finished mineral and shows its limestone footprint. So good. Lovely tension between elegant richness and intense minerality and crunch. — 5 years ago
