"Elegant and playful with a wonderfully cool personality, this is a charming expression of an appellation that can be quite austere. It does turn decisively in the stony and pointed direction in the long, expressive finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Rauenthal Estate opens with clear, bright and ripe fruit with some pink nuances intertwined with terroir-driven depth and also saline nuances. Rich and lush but elegant and refined on the palate, this is a generous yet precise and stimulating fresh and citric Rauenthaler with a persistent texture and flesh and stimulating bite. Substantial without being heavy, this is rather baroque from a coolish terroir. 11% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024."

"This fantastic village wine has so much depth, the textural complexity also very striking on the well-structured, medium-bodied palate. Although the larger part of the aroma spectrum is stone fruits, there are also notes of bergamot, candied pineapple and dried herbs. Very long, crisp and compact finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2024 Riesling Estate Rauenthal is fragrant, combining scents of citrus foliage with wet stone saltiness and a wonderful portion of lemon zest. This is electric, beautifully direct and lively. The 2024 is for Riesling lovers who revel in zestiness. What a lovely jolt of lemony freshness, what energy. This combines levity and linearity with real intensity. Bone-dry"

"Intensely spicy nose with plenty of quince and dried-pear character, also some minty freshness. Impressive structure on the medium-bodied palate, where there™s easily enough ripeness and spice to harmonize this. Long, mineral and textural finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2022 Riesling Estate Rauenthal is from the local schist soils with sand-loam topsoil and is quite a distance from the river, facing southeast, lending morning sun but no real heat. Breur notes that ripeness is always more moderate and picking later. Creaminess appears on the nose, with tender Reine Claude plums. The palate is lighter, saltier, very fresh and stonier. The creaminess apparent on the nose seems to have been replaced by something more insistent, saltier, naked. It is almost austere, with less charm but more salt. This is not as resonant as Rüdesheim on the finish, but it is a wonderful comparison. (Bone-dry)"
