Notes

93-95pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Floral notes, herbs and spices, lilac, bay leaf, mint, unripe nuts, also peach and bergamot. Bright, crystal-clear fruit on the palate, a zesty acidity, very lively, with a delicate texture, fruit on the finish, good length.-Ulrich Sautter"(12/2025) 92pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 54 25. The 2024 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the front label (the reference to GG is found on the back label and on the bottle itself), comes from parcels of very old un-grafted vines in the prime Urglück, Maxberg, and Layenhaus sectors, and was fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for almost 12 months. It delivers a quite aromatic, intense, and appealing nose of tangerine, white mint, smoke, herbal tea, lime tree, thyme, flintstone, and grapefruit. The wine coats the palate with aromatic presence, but also directly some lively acidity running through the palate and giving quite some tension and a bone-dry feel to the intense finish. There is some tartness in need of integration before true greatness. This aromatic, complex, and racy expression of dry Riesling is superb. 2030-2044."(01/2026)
