Vinous
"A Riesling that, according to Suckling, seems to dance on the palate, or, according to Vinous, is like a sea breeze: it's superb."
“The aromas of orange blossom, ripe nectarine, and melon in this great dry GG Riesling are breathtakingly beautiful. This superbly elegant, medium-bodied expression from the high-altitude Brunnenhauschen vineyard effortlessly showcases its great power and concentration, dancing across your palate.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 17,5/20
About the wine:
Notes of lemon curd and red apple mingle with hints of lemon and kumquat. The elegant, juicy palate features sharp, zesty edges. Complex and refined, with a creamy lightness that belies the wine’s underlying rigidity and distinction. 2026–2034
Vinous
Wine rated (2024 guide) 97/100
About the wine:
The 2023 Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen Grosses Gewächs Riesling is located east of Morstein, with slightly more iron oxide in the soil. On the nose, delicate and savory notes suggest green apple peel, a peppery hint of watercress, and a lemony freshness. On the palate, it displays a finely structured body, chalky depth, and a slightly salty freshness reminiscent of a sea breeze. We are a long way from the ocean, but this wine is salty like a sea breeze, almost like an oyster shell. It is beautifully salty and maritime in its entire character. 2028–2060

Falstaff
Wine rated (2024 guide) 98/100
About the wine:
It opens with herbaceous and spicy notes of thyme, rosemary, watercress, apple peel, red apple, and fresh caraway—aromas of the terroir. From the very start, the wine gains in dynamism and tension; it is highly concentrated, distinctive, and mineral. A great Riesling.
