"The beauty of this great dry Mosel wine is both overwhelming and seemingly timeless. Unbelievable concentration, yet everything about this wine is fine and precise, so that you wonder how such density and delicacy can coexist. And the brilliance of the finish is the most amazing thing about this great Mosel masterpiece. Vegan. Limited production. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling 1896 honors the year of planting in its name, with vines in the Maximin Herrenberg that were 127 years old when picked. The grapes were harvested across a spectrum of ripeness, slowly pressed in an old basket press and fermented spontaneously without sedimentation in Fuder. Creamy ripe smooth apple shines with a touch of fennel seed. The palate is clear-cut and bright, with a mouth-filling bold presence but without fat and a luminous citrus echo. This is expansive but precise."

"Extremely complex nose with lemon zest, fresh pineapple and spicy aromas. Just a whiff of caramel. Rich and very concentrated, the palate creamy at the front and silky at the back, making this very easy to drink now. The finish is at once stony and filigree. However, this is still at a very early stage in its life, so writing a long list of adjectives would give entirely the wrong impression of this unique wine. Vegan. Drink or hold."
