I’ve mentioned breathtaking wines, and indeed there were some in the Nahe, but the Wonnegau begins another dimension.
Brüder Dr. BECKER
2021 (Dienheim) Falkenberg Riesling GG
Floral, but on the palate lacks the tightness of structure and the complexity that the Tafelstein has. 90(+)/B+
2021 (Dienheim) Tafelstein Riesling GG
Pure, intense, deep limestone in nose and mouth with good white fruits and roundness. 96/A+
K. F. GROEBE
2021 (Westhofen) Aulerde Riesling GG
OMG! Pure, stony, chiseled aroma, maybe a touch of nutshell. Medium-weight, sculpted, pure, deep, harmonious, long, deep. 96(+)/A+
2021 (Westhofen) Kirchspiel Riesling GG
Dusty, pure nose; clear, firm mouth with some roundness, great precision and depth. 97/A+
2016 (Westhofen) Kirchspiel Riesling Grande Réserve (auction wine)
Pure, intense, penetrating, with the noble austerity from the limestone. 94/A
2021 (Westhofen) Kirchspiel Riesling Kabinett (auction wine)
Virtually dry (despite 56 g/l residual sugar — that’s the effect of the acidity to balance it off). Pure, light, energetic, penetrating. 7.5º alcohol. 94/A+
WITTMANN
2021 (Westhofen) Aulerde Riesling GG
Dusty, stony nose. Pure with lime and lemon fruits, sculpted structure, a bit of dust. 95/A+
2021 (Westhofen) Kirchspiel Riesling GG
Pure, some white fruits, long, deep, sculpted, nobly austere, a great limestone expression. 96/A+
