97 Points James Suckling - "This smells like a whole room filled with fresh and dried flowers. Then, as it unfolds in the glass, wild-herb and dried citrus-zest aromas unfurl. In spite of the generous ripeness, this is tremendously elegant and focused, with a ton of crushed-stone minerality. So crystalline at the very fine and delicate finish. And the saline character adds yet another dimension to this extremely complex picture. From bio dynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

17.5 Points, Jancis Robinson -"Delightfully firm with so much personality and the sensation that you are licking stones in the vineyard! So firm, so pungent, yet so fruity. Gorgeous wine, essence of Riesling and already approachable. Steely finish suggests a long life ahead. Bone dry and very long."

The Hill of Schlossberg would finish on a podium if 'Best Riesling Vineyard in the World' were an upcoming Olympic event. The lucky people at Domaine Weinbach have the largest vineyard holdings on the hill, and make exceptional wines every year from this rocky, granite outcrop.

They make Riesling in a minimalist, old-school style, with whole-bunch pressing, wild-yeast fermentation with no additions, and elevage in mighty, mighty old oak casks.

It's dry and rich, full and linear, powerful and delicate. A wine to change your perception of Riesling itself.
