2015  Riesling Grosses Gewachs

"A hint of lanolin from barrel mingles on the nose with site-typical lime, sweet corn, flowers and green herbs. There’s so much going on here that I can’t see why the whiff of oak should give offense. A polished feel and inner-mouth persistence of bittersweet floral perfume complement succulent white peach, pear and sweet corn. The succulently sustained finish irresistibly calls for the next sip." - Vinous

2015  Riesling Grosses Gewachs

"Hints of lanolin and resin from barrel mingle with sweetly aromatic suggestions of almond paste, ripe pear, honeysuckle and lily-of-the-valley. Lush, succulent, polished and loaded with inner-mouth perfume, this lets you forget entirely about its oak component up until the finish, where an undertone of wet stone and a stimulating nip of fresh ginger compete slightly with the lanolin and resin, and there is less primary juiciness (let alone seductive succulence or floral persistence) than in the corresponding Grainhübel. But these are early days, and I expect that this bottling will shape up beautifully with time, though I’m skeptical whether it will ever rival its memorable 2014 predecessor in complexity or stamina." - Vinous

2012  

A Pinot noir made from manually-harvested grapes which undergo a spontaneous fermentation in open wooden barrels. The malolactic fermentation takes place in barrique. This Pinot displays a deep red fruity flavour with a complex character; fine and delicate and possessing the Burgundian capability of being able to develop further from year to year. Unfiltered.
