2019 IM SONNENSCHEIN Riesling Beerenauslese
"This smells and taste like essence of mango and is very succulent, but there’s also a note of sage adding freshness. Mouth-filling and texturally complex at the front, due to the considerable concentration and natural grape sweetness. But the finish is so pristine! Very limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 "GANZ HORN" Riesling GG
"Breathtakingly youthful and fresh, this dry riesling has the straightest line in the known universe! Great interplay of citrusy flavors and wet-stone minerality, driving it across the palate into the very long vibrating finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2021."

2019 IM SONNENSCHEIN Riesling GG
"Lovely, peachy nose with notes of dripping flowers and leaves after tropical rain. A hint of yeast, too. Very cool and elegant on the palate, where the power and concentration are underplayed. Long, graceful finish that pulls you back for more of this dry-riesling nectar! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 KASTANIENBUSCH Riesling Auslese
"The nose of this Auslese is like stepping into a store filled with exotic fruit. So much passion-fruit and mangosteen, yet this has stunning brilliance on the palate, where the intense minerality provides an exact counterpoint to the tropical extravagance. Long and focused, salty finish pulls you back for more. Limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 IM SONNENSCHEIN Weißer Burgunder GG
"Pristine and polished, in spite of the enormous concentration and power that leave you in no doubt of this wine’s greatness. Great interplay between the warm (very ripe pear) side of this dry pinot blanc and its cool (leafy and mineral) side, until the stunning finish, when the latter builds to a crescendo. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 Frankweiler Biengarten RIESLING trocken VDP.Erste Lage
"Still a bit shy, the nose currently dominated by smoke and herbal aromas, but there’s a lot of citrus and chalky minerality packed into this rather sleek frame. Silky texture. The long, filigree finish has the combination of lightness and strength I associate with a great dancer! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 MANDELBERG Weisser Burgunder GG
"A lot of smoky character in the still embryonic nose (from long sur-lie maturation). Ripe and rich with a texture and stature that remind me of Grand Cru white Burgundy, the power and weight considerable, but the finish beautifully balanced. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2021."

2019 RIESLING vom Muschelkalk trocken VDP.Ortswein
"Lots of ripe stone fruit with hints of papaya and grapefruit make this an immediately appealing and texturally fascinating dry white. But there’s a ton of structure, too, and this is just beginning to open up. Long, smoky and chalky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 RIESLING vom Rotliegenden trocken VDP.Ortswein
"Lots of exotic fruit and herbs (think Thai basil), plus a hint of smoke give this village wine an exciting nose. So bright and mineral, this is a very focused dry riesling that tastes lighter than it really is. Stunning, long finish of crystalline purity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 Siebeldinger WEISSER BURGUNDER vom Muschelkalk VDP.Ortswein
"All the elements of this rich and well-structured dry pinot blanc interlock beautifully on the palate and thishas a long, very elegant finish. There’s great, pear and fresh-nut character there, but the nose is still a bit closed. Great potential, if you can wait a moment. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2020."

2019 "R" Chardonnay trocken
"A touch of butter-caramel, but also so many fresh notes of herbs and snow peas. Very creamy and silky, but with a feeling of weightlessness that’s far removed from the norm for this grape variety. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."

2019 "R" Pi No. trocken
"A unique wine that is a bit reminiscent of old-fashioned, Burgundian dry whites. Restrained and complex with plenty of summer-meadow character. Long finish with quite some chalky minerality. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."

2019 "R" Sauvignon Blanc trocken
"A very serious, Loire-style sauvignon that’s totally on the flinty side with discreet cassis fruit. You can sense the depth from the beginning, but it really builds at the finish. An innovation for Germany! From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold."

2019 Riesling <Ökonomierat> trocken VDP.Guteswein
"A hint of smoke at first, but quickly the peach, apricot and rose aromas dominate this ripe, but puristic, bone-dry riesling. A ton of minerality at the long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap."

2019 RIESLING vom Buntsandstein trocken VDP.Ortswein
"This Pfalz dry riesling has so much individuality with lime and bergamot, herbal and floral notes. Good substance and concentration, but still very straight with a slightly austere, mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2019 RIESLING trocken VDP.Gutswein
"Very sleek, crisp and refreshing with lemon-zest and tart-peach character, but also a note that reminds me of a freshly plowed field. This is a striking wine for the humble category. I love the crunchy freshness at the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap."

2019 WEISSER BURGUNDER trocken VDP.Gutswein
"A generous wine for a basic dry pinot blanc with nice sliced-pear character and lively acidity that makes it taste lighter than it really is (13.5% alcohol). Shcmoozes you at the smooth but bone-dry finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap."
