"Cool and delicate nose of star fruit, pineapple and mint. Still a little closed, but compact and elegant on the generous and well-structured palate, then comes the long chalky finish. Excellent potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Mainly wild-fermented in large neutral oak casks. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2022 Wachenheim Riesling Trocken Village opens with a clear, intense and concentrated yet also subtle and refined bouquet of spicy as well as fleshy and juicy Riesling berries. Savory and fresh on the palate, this is a lean and straight, piquant and finely phenolic dry Riesling with persistent salinity and promising structure. Tasted at the Nobelhart & Schmutzig restaurant in Berlin, February 2024."

"Terrific Amalfi lemon and bergamot fruit that's so sunny, with a dynamic flinty character. Vibrant and salty on the sleek and very focused, medium-bodied palate. Long, slightly austere finish with excellent structure. A cuvee of wines from all five Premier Crus of this village, plus the Luginsland. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Wachenheim Village Riesling trocken is clear, light, pure and fresh on the bright and fragrant, almost a little greenish nose that offers green apple, gooseberry and lemon rind but also white peach aromas intertwined with coolish and slightly saline terroir notes. Not extraordinarily ripe but elegant, saline and with sur lie complexity, it is round and elegant on the palate. This is a full-bodied yet pure and filigreed, savory, persistently intense and structured Riesling with serious grip and tension. It is very long and intense and very promising, 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025."

"The 2023 Riesling Wachenheim Village was harvested in Erste Lagen in Wachenheim on the sites along the Weinstrasse, made half in large barrels and half in stainless steel. Lovely flint still hovers on the fruity nose, while zesty citrus starts its charm offensive. This carries right through to the palate, where it takes center stage and shines. Exquisitely balanced, beautifully sunny and bright, this could have even more bite. (Bone-dry)"
