Wine Enthusiast – Notes of ripe lemon have a honeyed, herbal lift, with a hint of candied lemon peel. The palate of this wine comes with concentration and a lemon freshness that radiates ripeness, brightness and intensity in equal measure. The finish is long, lemony, waxy and dry. Lovely now the wine is certain to evolve. Drink now–2030.
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – From a steep cru on gneiss and marble in the cooler Spitzer Graben area of the Wachau, the 2021 Ried Bruck Spitz Riesling Federspiel opens with a deep, pure and intense, very elegant and complex nose with ripe Riesling aromas intermingled with enormously stony notes. On the palate, this is a spectacular, complex and refined Riesling with great intensity and terroir expression. The term Federspiel downsizes this Riesling a bit, although it is an elegant, medium to full-bodied wine that has the complexity, finesse and intensity of a grand cru. Definitely a wine to have from this superb vintage. The aftertaste is spectacular in its mineral tension and salinity. That’s Riesling at its best! 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap closure. Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “The 2021 Ried Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd displays dense, spicy and concentrated ripe fruit with savory rocky notes. Playful and elegant on the palate, this has ripe, concentrated and aromatic fruit with persistent length, not only structurally but also fruit-wise. This is an excellent, age-worthy Riesling from one of the DAC’s most famous vineyards. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau.” - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
James Suckling – So juicy and yet so,filigree, this is a wonderful introduction to the light side of German riesling. So many white flowers that they fall out of the bouquet, the touch of natural grape sweetness accentuating this beautifully. Long, clean finish. - JamesSuckling.com 2022
James Suckling – Striking note of fresh pomegranate and star fruit. Juicy and zesty with a blood orange freshness that is delightful to admire. Super-fresh finish with an energy that you wish could be put into batteries. The unfermented grape sweetness is already beautifully integrated. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification.
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “Loosen’s 2021 Erdener Treppchen GG Alte Reben is remarkably refined on the nose that exhibits a delicate and flinty-scented bright stone fruit and Riesling aroma. The palate is round and playful, almost silky and very elegant, leading to an intense and sustainably saline and tangy finish with fine grip and good tension. Surely one of the highlights in Erni Loosen’s 2021 GG series.” Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2021 Ürziger Würzgarten GG Alte Reben offers a clear, beautifully refined and flinty bouquet of ripe and elegant Riesling fruit spiced with stony splinters. Lush and refined on the palate, this is a very elegant, saline and textured Riesling with enormous salinity in the mouth-watering, rich and intense finish. Definitely the finest GG of the vintage here.
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr GG Alte Reben shows an intense, elegant and coolish bouquet of ripe, bright fruits and flint stones. Lush and round on the palate, this is a supple, salivating, saline and juicy WSU with an intense and substantial finish. This is gorgeous and kind of hedonistic yet with the clear and defined 2021 acidity. Excellent.” Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
James Suckling – A cool and very elegant riesling Kabinett that’s barely off-dry thanks to the strident lemony acidity that breezes through the palate as if there was no tomorrow. Super-bright, but also really structured and winey. Drink or hold.
