James Suckling
Reviewed September 2024Extremely deep and complex with a wonderful tension between the ripe Mandarin oranges, tobacco leaves and spicy aromas, plus giant crushed-rock minerality. Despite the cornucopia of yellow fruit, this is only 12.5% alcohol, giving the finish a wind-blown quality that defies your expectations of a very warm vineyard site. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Riesling Loibenberg is picked in the upper half of the Loibenberg and opens with a spicy tone of lichen on warm stone with overtones of red-cheeked yellow plum. The palate brings all these aromas and settles them on uncompromising stoniness. Concentration, citric verve and bundled power unite. All this energy will need some time to calm down, but this will last a long distance. (Bone-dry)(AK)
Notes
96-98pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Light yellow-green with a silver sheen. Discreet notes of white peach, fine tropical fruit, mineral, subtle blossom honey, a multi-faceted bouquet. Complex, full-bodied, fine stone fruit, a discreet extract and sweetness, a refined acidity, a touch of lime on the finish, already well developed, very good length with ageing potential.-Peter Moser"(06/2024)
