Rating: 95 Points
This category of medium-sweet wines may not be in favor, but that doesn’t take anything away from this riesling Spätlese masterpiece that swims against the current with great energy and determination. So much pink grapefruit, rose hip and pomegranate, with wild herbs leaping from the glass. Such brilliance at the very long finish. A minor miracle that the 2021 vintage made possible!

Rating: 93 Points

Precisely contoured as it flows elegantly into the long, cool finish. Still a bit closed and will show even better after a year or two longer in the bottle. 100% from the Rothenberg GG site.

Rating: 93 Points
Super-bright and vibrant, but with a wide spectrum of aromas from green apple to papaya and pomegranate. The freshness takes your breath away!
