Riesling from Nahe, Germany

94 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): The fruit here pulls in a tropical direction... but pineapple, Persian melon and mango are no less lusciously on display... A polished, subtly creamy texture is delightfully compatible with animatingly bright…

Dessert Wine from Nahe, Germany

97 points Fine Wine Review: The Oberhäuser Brücke Eiswein was harvested on 10 or 12 December and the grapes were very healthy. The nose shows pure peach blossoms that are intense but with great subtlety. The mouth is intense and piercing with peach…

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

94 points James Suckling: A Spätlese with a stack of fruit (peach, apricot and all manner of citrus), but also considerable elegance. Then the minerals cascade over your palate at the long, super-clean finish. Could easily hold for many years -- that…

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): The 2018 Kirschheck Spätlese from Weingut Dönnhoff is another excellent example of the vintage. The wine is pure, very floral in personality and quite expressive out of the blocks, offering up scents of…

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

91 points James Suckling: The hint of funk and the spirtz add excitement to this light and succulent riesling that's brimming with lemony freshness. Drink now or hold. Screw cap. (11/29/17)

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): The 2018 Kahlenberg Trocken was still in cask. This is superb and again, shows off the supreme elegance of the vintage at the winery this year, wafting from the glass in a very complex aromatic blend of…

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): The 2018 Tonschiefer was also bottled a few days prior to my arrival at the estate, but again, was not yet closed down from the mise and was showing very well indeed. The alcohol here is somewhere between…
