James Suckling
This remarkable entry-level dry riesling combines intense wet-stone minerality with brilliant acidity, plus stacks of Amalfi lemon, lime and bergamot. Electrifying freshness on the sleek, barely medium-bodied palate.

Vinous
The 2023 Riesling is the estate wine, harvested from younger vines on soils of red and blue slate and porphyry. Subtle tart lemon is tender on the nose, suggesting the slightest reduction. Zest and cut define the slender palate that just crackles with freshness. Exciting, clean-cut, precise and absolutely linear, this just pushes forward.
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.
