2022 KASTANIENBUSCH Riesling GG
Super-complex nose of wild herbs and licorice, plus notes of tropical flowers. Super concentrated and super-focused with an energy that knocks you back in your chair. Very long and pure finish that seems to vibrate on the palate. Made for the long term, but this is already accessible now. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
2022 MANDELBERG Weißburgunder GG
So much orange blossom and King Alphonso mango in the nose it pulls you up short. Rich and extremely concentrated, but with such wonderful balance it feels almost weightless on the creamy palate. This is largely down to the acidity that is uplifting on the palate, but also lifts the wine up to a rare level for this grape variety. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
2022 IM SONNENSCHEIN Riesling GG
Enveloping stone fruit aromas that span the entire range of these fruits, but there are also hints of mint and shiso leaf. Very concentrated and very precise, this has a staggering zesty freshness on the palate that grows in intensity as the delicate chalky minerality enters the arena at the spectacular finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

2022 SCHÄWER Riesling GG
Very Mosel-like personality with extreme slatey minerality that electrifies the stunning peachy fruit and expressive white flower aromas of this wonderfully atypical Pfalz dry riesling. Smoky minerality The brilliance of the samurai sword-like finish literally takes your breath away. Very low yield, therefore also very limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
2022 IM SONNENSCHEIN Weißburgunder GG
Stunning nose in which aromas of ripe pear, citrus peel, fresh nuts plus hints of mini-bananas and flint are interwoven to create a ravishing whole. Great concentration is married to a graceful personality on the ripe and silky palate. Such delicacy at the super-long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

2022 GANZ HORN Riesling GG
So much racy energy is married to a stunning concentration of lemon curd character. Just a hint of flint, but it adds tension to the finely nuanced whole. The peachy fruit and oolong tea complexity grow with aeration in the glass. Very straight and pure with so much drive, yet so polished at the long stiletto-like finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
2014 π No.® Gold extra brut
Enveloping nose with a wide spectrum of fruits from red berries to nectarines and candied oranges. Quite some citrus zest freshness, too. The mouthfilling leesy richness and the interplay of youthful and mature notes reminds me of an excellent prestige cuvee champagne. However, there's a zestiness at the long, beautifully balanced finish which is rather German. Super-fine mousse. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

2022 Riesling Muschelkalk
Very elegant and delicate for a dry pinot blanc with just a hint of creaminess on the mid-palate that deftly balances the chalky acidity. Fresh mint and oolong tea complexity. Very long finish with intense chalky minerality and stunning minty freshness. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
2022 BIENGARTEN Riesling 1G
Very subtle in the nose and on the palate, this marries peachy fruit with Amalfi lemon freshness and delicate baking spice aromas. Excellent concentration and vibrancy, this has incredible focus at the racy finish. Made for the long haul, but already very appealing. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.
