James Suckling
Reviewed August 2025Very cool and lemony, with plenty of garden herb aromas, this is a very sleek and focused dry riesling that’s barely medium-bodied. Very crisp finish with some herbal and green apple flavors. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Wine Advocate
Predominantly sourced in the Leistenberg, the 2024 Riesling trocken Tonschiefer VDP.Gutswein is pure as well as intense on the concentrated and aromatic nose that comes like a desert of crushed blue slate and salts. This is fascinating and represents a superb terroir that has always been one of my all-time favorites when it comes to easy drinking but complex and unique Rieslings. Mouthfilling but light, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dense and sustainable, quite powerful dry Riesling with a long, aromatic, intense and seriously structured finish. The acidity is an electric beam but focused on fully ripe and textured fruit. There is no need to open a bottle of this classic wine all too soon. Bottled in April with 11.5% stated alcohol.(SR)

Vinous
The 2024 Riesling Tonschiefer was picked chiefly in the Oberhäuser Leistenberg, but this year it was supplemented with fruit from Niederhauser Klamm, Hermannshöhle and Norheim. A gentle, smoky reduction spreads across the superbly clean-cut palate. This is the picture of clarity and poise, with a deep-seated zestiness, a core of coolness and exquisite, fluid ripeness. The 2024 is totally ripe but svelte and utterly disarming. (Bone-dry)(AK)
Notes
92+pts Fallstaff Magazine: "A fine spiciness on the nose with slate and dried lemon peel too - still comparatively closed. Minerality dominates on the palate, with a highly elegant acidity spanning the entire structure, promising a wealth of nuance to come.-Ulrich sautter"(11/2025)
