This plump, succulent spätlese starts off with apple and citrus aromas, then delivers intensely mineral flavors reminiscent of crushed vitamins and green apples. Crisp and citrusy on the finish, with a fine sense of poise and balance.

Perfumed and floral upfront, but not lacking for substance, with apple and citrus notes bolstered by hints of wet stones. This is mouthfilling yet light at the same time, finishing dry and citrusy.

This is a big, sturdy, dry Riesling, made to be matched with rich dishes. Limes combine with green floral notes on the nose to give a sense of freshness, then apple and peach flavors take over. The finish is long and intense, folding in hints of fresh mint. —J.C.

Intensely minerally, with hints of fuel oil on the nose, then crushed stones and ripe melon flavors on the palate. This shows unusual balance and precision for a 2003, culminating in a long, mouthwatering finish. Imported by Valckenberg International, Inc.

From red slate (roten schiefer) soils, this is a surprisingly fruit-forward dry Riesling, punctuated by fresh, floral aromas and piercing pineapple fruit. There’s not a huge amount of complexity in this medium-bodied wine, but it boasts admirable purity, focus and length.

This medium-bodied Riesling shows some already-evolving notes of honey, truffle and petrol wrapped around its core of apple and citrus. Seems a little on the sweeter side of the trocken spectrum.

Apple and citrus scents mark the nose, and then the wine adds mineral notes of crushed vitamins on the palate. It’s plump and medium in body, with a crisp, citrusy-minerally finish that would go well alongside Asian dishes without too much sweetness or spice.
