"The 2024 Riesling Bockenauer Felseneck Grosses Gewächs was grown on blue Devonian slate. It is lifted and fragrant, hitting the nose with lemony smokiness. The palate is so linear, poised, buffered and svelte. This has muscle, tension and clarity, stretching into the coolest, stoniest infinity. The more air it gets, the more the lemon awakens. (Bone-dry)" -Vinous

2024 Bockenauer Stromberg Riesling Trocken GG • 97-99VN, MFW 95MFW
"The Stromberg 2024 Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, offers a quite smoky and minty nose with just a touch of residues from its spontaneous fermentation, and includes wild herbs, blackberry, cassis, cherry, acacia, thyme, black tea, and flintstone. The wine is quite structured and compact on the palate, and only slowly shows more finesse as fresh flavors of mint and spices join the party. The finish is hugely long and slightly on the broader side. The aftertaste is full of spices and intensity. This is an impressive dry Riesling. 2030-2044" -Mosel Fine Wines

"The 2024 Riesling Bockenauer Stromberg Grosses Gewächs was largely made from 100-year-old vines (Fröhlich's oldest) rooted in porphyry. Its flinty reduction is perfumed with crushed passion fruit foliage and chervil. This has sinus-clearing lift and absolute poise. The palate is taut, bright and concentrated, with an immense zestiness of tangerine and grapefruit notes. They tingle with aroma and yet this has the firmest, sveltest core. The 2024 is thrilling, pure, long, pervasive and otherworldly. (Bone-dry)" -Vinous

2024 Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Trocken GG • 95-97VN, MFW 94+MFW
"The Halenberg 2024 Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, offers quite some herbal notes of wild herbs, smoke, and mustard seed, before developing complex scents of yellow flowers, earthy and hot spices, ginger, freshly cut herbs, greengage, green apple, and almond. The wine proves comparatively light-weighted and delicately creamy on the palate, and leaves a precise and fresher, nicely long finish, which is still marked by some tartness in need of integration. This leaner version of Halenberg is very impressive, but clearly needs some aging, and clearly has some upside potential if it gains in finesse with time. 2030-2039" -Mosel Fine Wines

"The 2024 Riesling Monzinger Halenberg Grosses Gewächs, from Devonian slate, has a gorgeous flinty lift and smoky allure. A touch of lemon flickers between smoke and flint but takes over on the palate. More air adds superb zesty freshness. Its linearity, directness and direction drill deep into the stone. This may be slender, but it leaves a distinct impression. The 2024 is pure, profound and supple yet so svelte. (Bone-dry)" -Vinous

2024 Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling Trocken GG • 94-96VN, MFW 96+MFW
"The Frühlingsplätzchen 2024 Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, proves beautifully reductive with intense smoky notes of bacon and wild herbs, gradually giving way to refined scents of white flowers, minty herbs, spearmint, lime tree, jasmine, thyme, and rosemary. The wine proves superbly energetic on the palate, with huge depth and great extract. It leaves a stunningly precise and animating feel of fresh herbs, zesty, and salty elements in the very, very long finish. This is a glorious, light yet hugely complex dry Riesling in the making, and even has clear upside potential. 2032-2049" -Mosel Fine Wines

"The 2024 Riesling Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen Grosses Gewächs hails from red Permian sandstone and vines that are at least 50 years old. Superb savor holds red clover, red apple and tangy citrus notes. All the freshness is subsumed into a beautiful, smooth, elongated core that stretches onto the cool, salty, tingling finish. (Bone-dry)" -Vinous

2024 Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Trocken GG • 95-97VN, MFW 94MFW
"The Felsenberg 2024 Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, proves finely aromatic and already quite attractive as refined scents of tangerine, citrus fruits, bergamot, spices, cinnamon, yellow peach, white pepper, and almond come through, as well as smoke and aniseed. The wine is slightly more herbal and primary on the palate, where light touch of tartness mingles with spices and zesty elements. The finish proves rather taut and racy at this early stage, and the aftertaste is just slightly broader yet very smoky and minty. This is a very impressive dry Riesling in the making but clearly one that will require extensive aging to allow all elements to blend. 2032-2044" -Mosel Fine Wines

"The 2024 Riesling Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Grosses Gewächs is from a site where 65% of the fruit was lost to frost. This is comprised of pretty much all that could be picked from this porphyry site in the middle and upper terraces of the slope. It vibrates with yeastiness imbued with vivid passion fruit aromas. The palate is straight as an arrow and naked in its stoniness yet buffered in its lemony freshness. Linearity, slenderness and brightness make this ring long. (Bone-dry)" -Vinous

2023 Schafer Frohlich Riesling Stromberg GG • 96-98VN, 98JS
"The 2023 Riesling Bockenauer Stromberg Grosses Gewächs is from porphyry with some vines between 80 and 100 years vears of age. Chervil, lemon blossom and pale lemon zest come together on the fragrant nose. Equal fragrance defines the palate in its litheness, directness and absolute finesse. Gorgeous understatement allows us to see the naked purity of this stony wine. Beautiful, taut and crystalline, this is exquisitely and deliciously hair-raising. (Bone-dry)" -Anne Krebiehl, MW

"What a haunting nose of smoke and wild herbs this breathtaking dry Nahe riesling has. Terrific underplayed power and fantastic focus on the super-sleek, concentrated, medium-bodied palate. Incredibly cool and precise in the super-long and super-stony finish, which has a compelling saltiness. From an extremely steep site with volcanic porphyry soil. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink from release." -Stuart Pigott

2021 Schafer Frohlich Riesling Fruhlingsplatzchen GG • 97-98WA, 96JS
"From shallow red slate and very old vines, the 2021 Frühlingsplätzchen GG offers a bright and radiant bouquet with stony and herbal aromas intertwined with notes of crushed slate and Amalfi lemon zests. Crystalline and pure but also lush on the palate, this is a linear, precise and saline, crunchy and challenging Riesling with an extreme slate stamp, reduced fruit and charm but with the intensity and extract for long development. This firm, almost austere long-distance runner will reward our patience." -Stephane Reinhardt

"At once flinty and floral (spring blossoms), this is explosively young, the intensity building and building as this silver surfer rides over the palate. Razor-sharp finish that is blindingly intense. May be too much for some in this very youthful form, but we find it already very exciting. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023." -Stuart Pigott
