James Suckling
Surprising elegance for an entry-level wine. Juicy and very well structured for this category. Brimming with yellow apple, crisp pear and lemon aromas. Long, crisp finish with impressive drive. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Riesling Nahesteiner is clear, intense and floral on the aromatic and elegant as well as iodine-inflected nose. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a crystalline, saline and stimulating pure and crunchy Riesling with a characterful and juicy, very elegant and stimulating saline, mouth-watering finish.
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
