If you like sleek dry whites with enormous expression, then you won’t be able to resist this diamond-bright yet incredibly juicy dry riesling. Gigantic crushed rock minerality and super-racy acidity. Almost perfect balance in the incredibly long, focused finish. From five small plots of more than 50-year-old vines in this great but underrated site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vinous: 96 Points
The 2023 Riesling Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru is from a steep, granitic site in the narrower valley of Katzenthal with less wind. Reduction and green-yellow lemon zest vie for attention on the nose. The palate is beautifully taut, with a zesty element that still swings with a touch of yeasty richness and texture but shows the hard stone underneath. This is exquisitely energetic, taut and chiseled. The 2023 is lip-smacking with a slightly phenolic, superbly clean-cut frame that reminds equally of red apple peel and citrus peel. (Bone-dry)
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
There’s a lot going on, with layer after layer of zesty peach, mandarin orange cream, waxy pear and guava, all on a creamy, rich frame. A bitter shock of crunchy mineral and fresh chive elements provides a ballast for the ripe, round core, with chopped ginger and wild herbs adding intrigue. Harmonious, offering a gorgeous texture. Drink now through 2033.
