"Although many of the best wines from the 2017 vintage in the Rhine Valley and the valleys of its major tributaries are still very young, they already make it clear that some kind of miracle occurred there. For many of the leading producers, the growing season brought multiple moments of despair as nature threw one major obstacle after another in their path, yet the best wines have ended up with great expressiveness and a diamond-like brightness."
99 POINTS, LA BORNE RIESLING 2017
"Stunning vitality and great mirabelle fruit, as well as a floral touch on the nose. Then, the chalky character charges through and drives the finish ever further out there."
98 POINTS, MORSTEIN RIESLING GG 2017
"Anything but a fruit bomb, this has gigantic herbal intensity on the nose, then literally breathtaking concentration on the palate and a finish of crystalline purity"
96 POINTS, KIRCHSPIEL RIESLING GG 2017
"Maybe this isn’t the most powerful dry riesling on planet Rheinhessen, but it is an exceedingly beautiful example with fine apricots and a cool, very filigree finish"
94 POINTS, WESTHOFENER RIESLING 2017
"It’s no wonder that this has the ripeness and depth of a top, single-vineyard wine, considering that it comes mostly from the Morstein, plus some Brunnenhäuschen."
93 POINTS, RIESLING ESTATE 2017
"If somebody presented this to me as a village wine from a top producer then I'd believe them, because this has a ton of herbal and chalky character at the long finish"
