92 Points! Full white-peach fruit on the nose and the generous palate, this is a prototypical example of the increased ambition many leading producers are applying to the wines of this humble category.

92 Points! Brimming with white peaches and spring blossoms, this has a wonderful juiciness, thanks to the interplay of racy acidity with a touch of unfermented grape sweetness. Spring-like freshness and good wet-stone character on the light-footed palate. Very clean finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

92 Points! Deep nose with stacks of spice plus flinty and leesy complexity. The ripe stone fruit character emerges more and more with each swirl of the glass.

From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

91 Points! So much stone fruit and such a juiciness for the extreme vintage, this is a generous introduction to the riesling wines of the Nahe. Just a hint of floral honey, but also citrusy acidity. Just a hint of tropical ripeness. Put your feet up and enjoy now. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. - JamesSuckling.com

93 Points! Some people are frightened of dry riesling, because they think the acidity will bite, but this is so generous (plenty of fruit-salad aromas) and, although it's decisively dry, there's nothing even vaguely resembling a sharp edge. Substantial, pithy finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - JamesSuckling.com

92 Points! The Langenlonsheimer 2019 Riesling Königsschild is fruity and savory up front on the nose that represents the limestone terroir mixed with loess and loam as well as fully ripe and aromatic yet precise and coolish fruit with lime rind, grapefruit, tea and floral aromas. Round and intense on the palate, with a dense and concentrated texture, this is a full-bodied yet compact, filigreed and finely racy Königsschild with tight, lingering mineral freshness and good power and structure. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com

93 Points! Offers an aroma redolent of fresh-cut apples, with flavors to match, along with ripe gooseberry, white raspberry and peach. The juicy finish features accents of meringue and plenty of spice. Drink now through 2040. - Wine Spectator

91+ Points! From Westhofen's stonier soils and assembling 28 different vats, Wittmann's 2021 Riesling trocken Estate is the former Gutswein, but it's already a wine that is more than just a Riesling pleasure. The white-yellow colored wine offers a clear and spicy, pure and mineral nose with ripe, elegant fruit with herbal nuances. Mouthfilling, round and textured on the palate, this is a juicy yet pure, saline and finessed, very stimulating dry Riesling with delicate lemon bitters on the finish that reveals some ripe white-peach aromas on the aftertaste. This was vinified in large oak and stainless steel (70/30) and aged on the full lees for nearly six months. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022. 11.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. - Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com
