James Suckling
Reviewed July 2025Density, coolness, floral finesse and wet-stone magic intersect in this extraordinary wine that defies easy categorization. In spite of the enormous concentration, this is barely medium-bodied and, at the finish, it floats off into the almost infinite distance. Enormous aging potential.

Vinous
The 2023 Riesling Rüdesheimer Kaisersteinfels Grosses Gewächs is from one of the domaine’s most elevated parcels, high up on the Rüdesheimer Berg. The nose is shy but reveals fleeting glimpses of petrichor, chamomile crushed against a hot rock and dried lemon peel. The palate is concentrated, with vivid lemon notes, especially of peel and only a touch of pith. This is austere and stony but so beautifully persistent. (Bone-dry) (AK)
Notes
95 points, Falstaff: "Spicy and mineral entrée, rock flour, dried mint, lemon balm, allspice, aniseed biscuits, ripe lemons, orange peel. On the palate, powerful minerality gradually fans out into subtle, clear fruit and fine textured flavours, carrying on into the long, exciting finish."
