The Wine Front – Honey, green apple, almost a cool mint perfume, subtle toasty notes. Punches through the palate, but has a delicacy and a honeyed creaminess that’s so charming, and mitigates the firm stony acidity and crunch of lemon and green apple. Feels very much that it’s a wine that knows exactly what it’s about. Entry level, and so impressive!
James Suckling – For a basic dry riesling this is very cool, mineral and herbal with a compact core. Attractive white and citrus-fruit character on the medium-bodied palate. Serious, dry finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2021 Gimmeldinger Kapellenberg Riesling is very clear and precise on the nose, with intense and elegant fruit and green tea aromas and notes of crushed sandstones. On the palate, this is a generous, lush and salty-savory Riesling with a crunchy phenolic grip and stimulating finish. It is still very young but elegant and with a ripe and elegant Riesling fruit. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker Wine Advocate 2022
James Suckling – "A remarkable pinot noir for a village wine with lots of autumnal complexity (underbrush, wet earth, bonfire) in the nose. Then comes the very structured medium-bodied palate with generous tannins and a fine-grained mouthfeel. The long focused finish with a cascade of mineral and wild herb notes completes the impressive picture. 30% whole cluster, wild fermented, then matured for a year in large oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold."
James Suckling – "Very complex nose of red fruits, candied orange, baking spice, wild herbs and smoke. Equally complex and refined on the tense and beautifully structured palate, perfectly filled out by the fine tannins. Long, filigree and stony finish. From a site with very shallow soil directly over a limestone cliff. From biodynamically grown grapes. 100% whole cluster, wild fermented, then 18 months in small oak. Unfiltered and unfined. Drinkable now, but best from 2024." -Stuart Piggot
James Suckling – "This Rheinhessen pinot noir has a striking nose of candied orange and baking spices with hints of herbal liqueur and savory. At one ripe and quite fleshy, but well-structured with a core of fine tannins that drive and focus the long chalky, yet fresh and elegant finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. 100% whole cluster, wild fermented, then 18 months in small oak. Unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold."
James Suckling – "Intensely savory nose with stacks of licorice, wild herb character and a hint of something quite vegetal, possibly from stems. Amazing concentration and very compact structure with a great interplay of restrained ripeness and stony minerality that powers the bold, long, powdery and chalky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. 100% whole cluster, wild fermented, then 18 months in small oak. Unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold." -Stuart Piggot
James Suckling – "Breathtaking nose of ripe wild berries and herbs, savory and a touch of sous bois. Great concentration and amazingly mouth-filling for just 12.5%, this is a German pinot noir masterpiece and one of the wines of the vintage! Staggering length, the finish still tightly wound. You need some patience to get the best this has to offer. From biodynamically grown grapes. 100% whole cluster, wild-fermented, then 18 months in small oak. Unfiltered and unfined. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."
James Suckling – "Complex nose of orange and lemon peel, plus fresh wild herbs and a touch of flint. Quite some weight for 12.5% alcohol with compact fine tannins and stacks of chalky minerality that accentuates the freshness at the long, very clean finish. Wild fermentation, then maturation in large oak casks and stainless steel. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drinkable now, but best from 2024."
