Our Professional Review 

Rand Sieger 67Wine.com | This is the lemonade of wine.  A super fresh and juicy summer quaffer to have with all your lighter summer foods. The first aromas that come up from the glass are crushed lilies of the valley and white pepper, followed
by citrus and fresh pineapple.  Dry, lean, fresh and juicy on the palate.

Winemaker Description 

A liter of the raciest, most energetic and appealingly mineralische Riesling imaginable. Alc: 12% Residual sugar: 7,5 g/ltr Acidity: 7,6 g/ltr Must weight: 88° Oechsle Harvest on 26th of September 2019, Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel. On the fine yeast until bottling in stainless steel tanks (26th of February 2021) Bright yellow colour with green highlights; in the nose aromas of apple, yellow stone fruits and freshness; on the palate very harmonic, totally dry and refreshing.

Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker is a single vineyard site with a size of 121 hectares. 10% of the vineyard site is steep, 20% hilly and 70% are flat. The soil varies between sandy loam and loamy sand, mixed with limestone rocks and red sandstone. The name “Herrgottsacker” is probably derived from the word “Gottesacker” (which is a former word for cementery) andThis interpretation from Kimich, a small, traditional, 8th generation estate, is an absurd value in the liter bottle (33% more wine)! 

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024

James Suckling 92 Points | Brimming with mandarin orange and yellow peach aromas, this is a very attractive entry-level dry riesling. Barely medium-bodied, but so effusive and elegant. Very zesty finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Vinous 91 Points | The 2024 Riesling trocken is a mix of many more sites than the usual Oberhäuser Felsenberg and Kieselberg, but it is entirely from volcanic and slate soils. An immediate touch of peach on the nose sets the scene for fruit, ripeness, clarity and freshness. The palate is totally strait-laced, zesty and ripe, with a sunny aspect. This is svelte and immensely fresh. The 2024 is an absolutely clear-cut, lip-smacking Riesling. (Bone-dry).

The Wine Advocate 90 Points | Just bottled with 11% stated alcohol, Dönnhoff's 2024 Riesling trocken VDP.Gutswein opens with a remarkably intense and aromatic yellow stone fruit aroma intermingled with complex and saline terroir notes of the middle Nahe. Fresh and savory on the palate, this is a light- to medium-bodied, straight, pure and fresh dry Riesling with remarkable intensity and sustainability on the finish and a saline and savory aftertaste. This is not as light and charming as the off-dry twin but more serious in its terroir expression. It needs some weeks or months to calm down a bit. Tasted in April 2024.

Winemaker Description 

The 2024 vintage presents itself with brilliant fruit and a lively, well-integrated acidity. Aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white peach unfold on the palate, accompanied by a fine, salty minerality and a cool, precise finish.

Pure Riesling! Vibrant, fresh and clean. Elegant with refined fruits. This estate wine combines the two major soils that dominate the holdings for the estate, giving the drinker a look into what Dönnhoff is all about. 

A crystal-clear expression of the 2024 vintage – fresh, pure, and full of minerality. This classically dry Riesling comes from the steep slopes around Oberhausen in the middle Nahe region. The vines are deeply rooted in rock-rich soils with a high proportion of volcanic weathered rock, particularly porphyry and melaphyre, complemented by slate and quartzite.>This geological diversity gives the wine its characteristic clarity, complexity, and finesse.

A stylistically precise Riesling, typical of Dönnhoff – ideal as an elegant food accompaniment or for drinking on its own. Fermentation and aging take place in stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels, giving the wine additional complexity.  

Memo Pairing Suggestions

The slight residual sugar makes it a world-class match for spicy Thai or Indian cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with Jägerschnitzel, fresh trout, or salty cheeses.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

James Suckling 93 Points | A stunning, entry-level dry riesling with an impressive depth of stone fruit and a touch of flint that gives it energy on the medium-bodied palate. Long, compact, salty finish. A cuvee of wines that are 40% from Ruppertsberg and 60% from Wachenheim, mostly from young vineyards. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan.

The Wine Advocate 90 Points | The 2023 Riesling Trocken is still closed and reductive in its pretty spicy and phenolic, initially rather grassy nose that opens up in the glass to deliver ripe lemon aromas intertwined with notes of broken sandstones. Round and lush on the palate, this is a juicy, elegant and quite intense or even extract-rich Riesling with ripe acidity and good, phenolic grip. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure.

Winemaker Description 

Crisp and vibrant with notes of green apple, citrus zest, and wet stone. This dry Riesling from the Honigsack vineyard showcases precision, minerality, and refreshing acidity — a classic example of Pfalz elegance.

Perfect with: Light seafood dishes, sushi, or fresh goat cheese.

Our Professional Review 

Rand Sieger, 67Wine Buyer: Just off-dry with delightful green apple aromas and edgy minerality.  Ends in a long, delicious apple core finish. Great value and complexity at its price point.

Winemaker Description 

It shows the style of the house and the typicality of the different soils around the winery. A dry Palatinate Riesling with fine fruit, elegant acidity and gripping minerality.

The history of the Bassermann-Jordan winery is one that is intertwined with the history of winemaking in Pfalz. In 1718, Pierre Jordan purchased the family's first vineyards in Pfalz, while Johann-Peter Jordan built the winery in Deidesheim 65 years later. Around the turn of the century, Andreas Jordan elevated quality winemaking in Pfalz by becoming one of the first growers in the area to plant single varieties by vineyard and was also one of the first winemakers to vinify each vineyard separately. A marriage between the Bassermann and Jordan families added the name Bassermann to the winery in 1883. Bassermann-Jordan is one of the founding members of the VDP, Germany's top organization to ensure quality wine.

Winemaker Description 

Lively fruit and minerality on a zesty palate. Slightly sweet, with a dry finish. Unfined, unfiltered.

Founded in 1891, the Brand winery has been producing wine in the Pfalz for five generations. Their vineyards are located on limestone-rich soils around the village of Bockenheim, in the northern part of the region, along the border of the Rheinhessen. Daniel and Jonas' father, Jürgen, always farmed their vines responsibly, but when his children took over, they immediately transitioned to organic viticulture, gaining certification in 2017. The Brothers Brand also utilize biodynamic treatments, always experimenting to discover which practices work best in their vines. All of their wines are made with little, if any, added sulfites. 

Wonderfully aromatic with lively fruit and minerality and a lovely zest and charge on the palate, perfectly balanced by the residual sugar. The Feinherb Riesling has a slight sweetness on the attack, though the sugar melds perfectly into the body, finishing dry and crisp. No fining or filtration and minimal use of sulfur.

Our Professional Review

Rand Sieger from 67Wine.com writes | 'Alte Reben' is German for 'Old Vines.'  This estate grown and bottled Riesling comes from a small family winery in the lower Mosel in the tiny village Thörnich.  Discover the beautiful balance and energy of this dry riesling that drinks way above its price point.

Dornfelder is an extremely popular German red grape that is based on four classic varieties: Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch), Portugieser, Frühburgunder, and Trollinger. It produces fruity, medium-bodied wines with deep color and good acidity. Made in a medium-sweet, fruit-forward style, its lightly floral aroma and plush flavors of plums and cherries are well balanced by velvety tannins. It has an intense color, lip-smacking flavor, and pairs well with a wide variety of foods.

Winemaker Description 

Von Winning Riesling Brut light-bodied with notes of lemon zest, yellow pears, soft bubbles, and integrated minerality on the finish.

White fruit flavors, crisp, crunchy fleshy fruit aromas, fully ripe. With air the wine gains complexity, leaning towards nectarine and crisp cox-orange apple with a nice dose of salinity in the long finish.

Winemaker Description 

This is Lauer’s Platonic ideal of what a Saar Riesling should be. If we were in Burgundy this would be the equivalent of a Bourgogne Blanc.

As an appellation-level wine, it is sourced from multiple vineyards in three different villages of the Saar. This is always a thrilling off-dry and a silly value.

Our Professional Review

Rand Sieger 67Wine.com | Only 7.5 percent Alcohol. This is about as good as a mosel riesling under $20 can be. Rarely do you find a Spätlese of this quality for such a low price. Classic mosel with bright white currant fruit, clover honey, and an energetic undercurrent of lime zest and slatey minerality. It really explodes on the palate with juicy, mouth watering fruit and the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

Try this paired with breaded, deep-fried button mushrooms dipped in tartar sauce. The combination will make you smile.

Winemaker Description 

The Rauen family in the Mosel has been growing grapes for many generations but began bottling their own wine only in 1983. When Harald Rauen took the reins from his father more than 30 years ago, the first thing he did with their vineyards in the slate-rich soils of Detzem and Thornich was to reduce the yields in the vineyards to concentrate on quality instead of bulk. The result has been a line of classically clean and elegant Rieslings. His Spatlese is light-bodied and zesty, just a touch sweet, with notes of apricot, lime, and flint.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023 

James Suckling 93 Points | This Mosel Kabinett is very sleek and racy, with striking aromas of lime zest and cassis, Light-bodied with acidity that feels as if sparks are jumping around inside your mouth, pushing the touch of grape sweetness way into the background. I love this originality, but some may find it a bit challenging. From a unique site with quartzitic soil. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Description 

Back to the fantastic Vintage 2023, this time from the Mosel, where we find our next top wine from the classic producer Maximum Ferdinand Richter, who have owned their vineyards for more than 300 years. Ownership of the Veldenzer Elisenberg vineyard began in 1813 when Richter ancestor Franz Ludwig Niessen learned of Napoleon Bonaparte's plan to demolish the cherished Veldenz vineyard. Niessen arranged a personal payment to the General to stop the destruction. The whole slope of Veldenzer Elisenberg was given to him by the municipality as a token of appreciation, and has stayed in the family ever since. The quartz soils of the Veldenz produce Rieslings that exhibit flavors of red currant, raspberry, and blueberry… an unusual quality to find in Riesling, but also a trait that makes this wine oh-so-charming, memorable and utterly delicious.

Memo Notes

Naturally Low Alcohol at only 8 Percent!

Our Professional Review 

Rand of 67Wine.com writes | A dry-styled Riesling that is at once rustic and approachable. Rockstar wine maker Christopher Loewen raises this wine in large fuder casks, using spontaneous fermentation.  This gives the wine a beautiful complexity and mouth filling texture.  A mix of yellow stone fruit, pear, and spiced citrus is underscored by a pleasingly savory salinity.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021 

Wine Advocate 94 Points | The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett is deep and flinty but bright and clear on the refined and elegant nose with beautiful crushed slate aromas. On the palate, this is a rich, round and generous, incredibly lush and supple but crystalline and even pure Sonnenuhr with a highly stimulating, mouth-watering finish. This 2021 shows the great terroir of the cru, in particular in cool vintages due to its exposition that collects the sun's rays in the morning. 

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | This shows very little sweetness, but is harmonious and well integrated despite the firm acidity that fuels it. Stone- and orchard-fruit notes are flecked by chrysanthemum and cardamom to create the full-spectrum. The finish is long and persistent.

Winemaker Description 

Cassis and lime zest aromas with tart, salty and slate notes.

Try with yellow curry or spring rolls.

Winemaker Description 

Light, crisp and refreshing. Honeyed peach, apples and honeydew melon notes. Off dry, with lots of stone fruit on the palate. Light in body and medium, crisp acidity.

Perfect with Asian food.

Winemaker Description 

Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling Zeppelin has amaizing aromas of apple, citrus and slate stone with clean and pure structure. The wine has a mineral texture with rich mouth-filling flavours of orchard fruits and juicy layers.

Shows as well zesty and spicy refreshing style. Well balanced structure, animating and the elegant fruit acid finishes with great length.

The estate of Max Ferdinand Richter has been owned by the Richter family for more than 300 years. Today this enterprise, owned and run by winemaker Dirk Richter, is one of the leading producers of top Rieslings in the heart of the central Mosel area with total holdings of 43 acres and an annual production of about 10,500 cases. Richter produces fine wines that are well known throughout the world. They produce a wide variety of wines from estate-grown grapes that reflect the individual style of each single vineyard. The terroir of their steep vineyard sites is generally fresh weathering grey slate.

Schloss Lieser SL Feinherb Estate Riesling has herbal and minerally aroma, really flinty on the nose. Has aromas of fruit and slate that lead to a fresh and round palate with a salty finish.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

James Suckling 94 Points | The intense wild herb character gives this sleek and compact 2021 Mosel GG a very striking personality. Lots of crisp pear and white peach fruit fill this picture out very neatly. The impressive length suggests this has many years ahead of it. Drink or hold.

The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points by Aleks Zecevic | Well tuned and flowing with grace, this wine delivers notes of understated passion fruit and kumquat. A stony undertow adds to the charm and complexity. This wine is not a blockbuster, but rather is for those who value nuance and subtlety. 

Winemaker Description 

Variety: Riesling • Region: Mosel • Vineyard: Niederberg Helden • Soil Type: Blue Devonian slate • Fermentation & Élevage: Stainless steel

Lieserer Niederberg Helden: Created by merging the previously separate Niederberg and Helden vineyards, this Grosse Lage vineyard is just east of the village of Lieser. With a steep slope and the typical soil type for this part of the Mosel, blue Devonian slate, Niederberg Helden is known as one of the top vineyards for producing both dry and noble sweet wines. A unique microclimate is formed here by the south facing slopes curving inward which helps to capture warmth.

Memo Summary Notes

The Riesling Niederberg Helden Feinherb 2021 is an off-dry wine from the Mosel region of Germany, produced by the world-renowned Schloss Lieser (Thomas Haag).

The "Niederberg Helden" is a legendary steep-slope vineyard known for its blue Devonian slate soil, which imparts a distinct mineral "grip" to the wine. Because 2021 was a cooler, more "classic" vintage in the Mosel, this wine has exceptional tension and energy compared to warmer years.

The Riesling Niederberg Helden Feinherb 2021 (750ml) is a high-end off-dry wine from the Mosel region of Germany, produced by the world-renowned Schloss Lieser (Thomas Haag).

In the Mosel, Feinherb is the "winemaker's choice" style. It sits between Trocken (dry) and Kabinett (semi-sweet). It is specifically designed to pair with food—the slight sweetness cuts through the heat of spicy Thai or Indian cuisine, while the acidity stands up to rich dishes like roast pork or creamy cheeses.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

James Suckling 94 Points | What a stunning village wine. The mouth-filling juiciness (think star fruit and the ripest citrus) is backed up with ample power. Creamy front palate, then the salty minerality and animating acidity kick in and push the finish way out there. A cuvee based on the Gaisbohl GG site of Ruppertsberg. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The Wine Advocate 92 Points | The 2023 Ruppertsberg Village Riesling trocken opens with a remarkably coolish, pure and refined, a little crunchy bouquet with bright and elegant fruit and smoky aromas intermingled with reduced phenolic notes. Lean and elegant on the palate yet with ripe and juicy fruit, this is a very fine and elegant-finishing Riesling whose savory grip and tension will be better integrated after a few years of bottle age. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025.

Vinous 90 Points | The 2023 Riesling Ruppertsberg Village was almost exclusively picked in the Gaisbohl with a small addition of Nussbien. A lovely flicker of reduction on the nose leads to an immensely juicy, rounded palate. Lemon-fresh Reine Claude plums appear in the mouth with a lovely undertow of yeast. The 2023 is absolutely bone-dry and clean on the bright finish. (Bone-dry)

Memo Summary Notes

The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Ruppertsberg Riesling Trocken 2023 is an "Ortswein" (village-level wine) that represents a significant step up from basic estate bottlings. Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is a legendary biodynamic producer in the Pfalz region, and this specific wine is sourced primarily from the high-quality Gaisböhl Grand Cru (Grosse Lage) vineyard in Ruppertsberg.

This is often considered one of the best "value" plays in the Bürklin-Wolf portfolio. Because much of the fruit comes from the Gaisböhl vineyard (which the estate owns exclusively), you are essentially getting Grand Cru quality fruit at a village-level price.

Winemake Description 

Dry, crisp style with great acidity. Sourced from south-western sections of Zeltinger Himelreich, mid-slope and slate grown. Fermented in neutral fuder. Recognizable Pinot Blanc flavors but with the mineral energy of slate.

Importer Memo Notes

Variety: Pinot Blanc • Region: Mosel • Vineyard: Almost entirely from Zeltinger Himmelreich • Soil Type: Blue Devonian slate • Fermentation & Élevage: Natural fermentation in stainless steel.

Expert Reviews 

The Wine Advocate 92 Points | The NV Brut Pinot de Diel is an assemblage of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir, a réserve perpetuelle predominantly harvested in 2021. Aged sur lattes for two years and disgorged with a dosage of four grams per liter in May 2024, the wine opens with deep, bright and fresh, lemony fruit intertwined with delicate brioche, sur lie and also flinty terroir aromas. Round but dry and fresh on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied Brut with a clear, long and mouth-cleansing finish. It's excellent in structure, complexity and length. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Burg Layen in February 2025.

James Suckling 92 Points | This creamy, barely medium-bodied sparkling wine tastes very French, with appealing aromas and flavors of yellow apples, brioche and flint. The lively mousse deftly lifts the long candied-citrus finish. A cuvee based on the 2022 vintage plus some reserve wine, disgorged June 2025. Drink now.

Producer Notes

Variety: Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris (co-planted and co-fermented) • Region: Nahe • Vineyard: Various estate sites • Soil Type: Slate & quartzite • Fermentation & Élevage: Stainless steel fermentation and aging, minimum 20 months en tirage, dosage is sweet Pinot Gris aged in barrique.

Memo Summary Notes

The Schlossgut Diel Pinot de Diel Brut NV is a sophisticated German sparkling wine (Sekt) from the Nahe region. While many German sparkling wines are made from Riesling, this specific cuvée is a "Pinot" blend, modeled after the traditional Champagne style but with a distinct German terroir.

Schlossgut Diel is one of Germany’s most prestigious estates. While they are famous for their Grand Cru Rieslings, Caroline Diel spent time training in Champagne, and that influence is clear here. The "Pinot de Diel" is designed to be their "luncheon" sparkling—elegant enough for a celebration but versatile enough for the table.

Food Pairings

• Classic: Raw oysters, sashimi, or lightly fried calamari.

• German Pairing: Veal schnitzel with a squeeze of lemon.

• Casual: It is famously good with high-quality salty snacks like truffle popcorn or Marcona almonds.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021

Decanter 94 Points | Refined and elegant with dark cherry, raspberry and purple florals overlaid by wild herb and balsamic hints. Sapid, stony and bright with gentle power, fine structure and a quietly unfolding complexity.

The Wine Advocate 92 Points | From loess parcels, the 2021 Pinot Noir TS is from the Tschuppen. The purple-ruby colored wine opens with clear, fresh, well-defined cherry aromas with tart floral notes. Silky, fresh and elegant on the palate, this is a saline, tight and mineral, beautifully refreshing and tart-finishing Pinot Noir with tight but fine tannins and serious mineral acidity. From a remarkable terroir, this is a thirst-quenching Pinot of remarkable character, bone dry but irresistible. 12% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in February 2024.

Importer Memo Notes 

Site: Tschuppen is a site at the top of the hill, loess over loam soils, vines are 12-20 years old.

The Wine Enthusiast 94 Points | Dusty slate and earth tones mingle into luscious guava and pink-grapefruit flavors in this decadently fruity kabinett. A sumptuous semi-dry Riesling, it's profoundly ripe and deeply concentrated but zippy and spry, finishing on a long, honeyed streak of lime and lemon acidity. Delicious young but should hold well through 2035.

The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points Aleks Zecevic | A whiff of rose water is followed by nectarine and apricot notes in this nicely balanced Spätlese. It's on the rich side, with submerged acidity, but the finish is lasting and inviting.

James Suckling 95 Points | A great riesling Spatlese that makes it clear why this category has not disappeared in spite of the rise of dry German riesling. Concentrated peachy fruit is married to excellent structure and the balance of the touch of natural grape sweetness with wet stone minerality and crisp acidity is dazzling. Very long and vibrant finish. Drink or hold.

Half-Bottle. This wine is a gastronomic specialty made from hand-picked frozen grapes that were harvested in the early morning hours at 10F. These grapes produce only a small amount of highly concentrated juice.

The resulting wine is similarly concentrated with intense flavors of apricot, pineapple and spicy pear. Its silky sweetness is balanced by bright acidity, which makes it perfect to pair with richer desserts.

Thursday August 7, 2025 - Melissa Clark made our dinner perfect with her Grilled Za’atar Chicken With Garlic Yogurt and Cilantro This has to be one of the easiest, yet most delicious, recipes you can make.  We don’t have a grill but used our oven, and, presto, perfect!  Since this was our friend Paulo’s birthday, a great wine was called for.  And WOW, what a perfectly delicious example of Riesling from the steep hills of Graach on the Mosel River.  The bouquet comes out of the glass as flowers and classic petrol.  The mouth is explosive with perfectly balanced acidity and lush fruit.  Your mouth is filled with this delicious and cleansing flavor.  This is "old style” classic Mosel from a tippy top producer.  If you are a gourmand like us, it is worth keeping a bottle for that special occasion.  - Bernie & Dorothy -  Follow The Drinker®

Expert Review

Stephan Reinhardt writes:  The 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is very clear and delicate on the elegant and refined nose that intermingles very fine slate with floral aromas and bright, very elegant and refined Riesling fruit. Savory and saline on the palate, this is a round and lush, filigreed and crystalline Himmelreich with a long, salivating, saline and irresistible finish. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 25 23 in January 2025.  Drinking 2025 to 2065.  - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 97

Winemaker Description 

Breathtaking steep are the slate terraces of the Ahr, on which only a few vines can be found at all times. In this respect, the yields are also dwindling and the number of bottles is limited accordingly.

Juicy on the palate with delicate, round tannins and wonderfully balanced with beautiful fruit extract. Burgundy fans can really rejoice.

The name Meyer-Näkel stands for the finest Pinot Noir from the spectacular steep slate slopes of the Ahr - this has been no secret for decades. Today, sisters Maike and Dörte Näkel are the third generation to successfully continue what their father and grandfather - both legends and pioneers of dry German Pinot Noir - had already established.

Winemaker Description 

This Silvaner is a true all-round talent. It is subtly fruity and finely aromatic. Its clear, elegant bouquet with aromas of hay, apple and melon is unobtrusive and slightly acidic. The terroir-emphasized note is typical of Hans Wirsching's Silvaner. 

Winemaker Description 

The scent has tangerine and peppery slate notes, still very young. In the mouth the wine has tension, crisp acidity, juiciness, a slim concentration, a dense, substantial core makes the finish compact and taut. Middle Rhine minerals with Rheingau finesse.
