James Suckling – Quite a serious dry Riesling with very good depth, elegant harmony and some real minerality that carries the long finish. Drink through 2024.” 91 points, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "The 2021 Hallgarten Riesling trocken Alte Reben is pure and refined on the remarkably precise and slatey as well as ripe and elegant fruity nose. Medium to full-bodied and with great finesse and mineral purity, this is a tight and salty, very persistent and lemon-bitter Hallgarten with a straightforward character. The aftertaste is fresh, crisp and enormously saline. A fascinating pure Riesling indeed." - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (August 2022)
James Suckling – “Wonderfully floral and animating, but also peachy and succulent. This could almost be from the world-famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr site on the Mosel thanks to the scintillating interplay of fruit and acidity, with zero perceptible alcohol. Long, wet stone finish with tons of energy.” - Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com

James Suckling – “Extremely racy and extremely nuanced, this is a stunning example of the diamond-bright brilliance of the top 2021 vintage German dry rieslings! Crystalline clarity and purity. Only white fruits, but so many shades of pale. And the freshness at the finish reminds me of a shaded waterfall surrounded by ferns. Excellent aging potential.” - Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “The 2021 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Trocken is pure and coolish on the intense and concentrated nose. From phyllite slate soils, this is a full-bodied, intense and salty-piquant, highly stimulating Riesling with lots of energy, phenolic grip and mineral tension. With fine tannin structure, the massive and concentrated body and fruit lead to a long and intense, aromatic finish. Long but still shy and still somewhat coated. Bottled at the end of June. 13% stated alcohol.” - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
James Suckling – “Very ripe yellow peach, mango and mandarin orange aromas with notes of floral honey and fresh basil. Ripe, substantial and well-structured, the fresh acidity give this precise contours. Seriously creamy on the mid-palate, but the finish is super clean. Made for the long-term.” - Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “The 2021 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Spätlese offers an intense, almost raisiny but also fresh and flinty bouquet with concentrated and candied fruit aromas. Rich and lush on the palate, with stimulating salinity and piquancy, this is a highly stimulating Riesling with lush, sweet and concentrated fruit. Very long and very complex, this is a fabulous Spätlese from the Gräfenberg grand cru. 9% stated alcohol.” - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
James Suckling – “I love the bouquet of stone fruits, Amalfi lemon, bergamot and licorice. The richness and concentration easily fill out an ample body that’s rare in the 2021 vintage. However, this dry riesling masterpiece remains precise and cool. Glides off into the distance at the long, silky finish.” - Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “The 2021 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG offers a clear and coolish, precise and refined bouquet of ripe but fresh and elegant Riesling fruit intertwined with lime zest aromas and flinty notes. On the palate, this is a rich, vital and elegant, very complex and mineral, dense and powerful Riesling with enormous grip and tension and a long, saline finish. This is a powerful and extract-rich wine with huge aging potential.” - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2021 Oestrich Riesling trocken Quarzit displays an intense golden-yellow color followed by an intense and concentrated bouquet with fine phenolic notes. Pure and enormously vital on the palate, this a long and tensioned, tight and textured Riesling from Oestrich. Fascinating again. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.
