Riesling wine is often associated with Germany, where it's very popular and where it first earned its keep, but there are also great Rieslings coming out of other cool-climate growing regions like New York's Finger Lakes, Oregon, Washington, Canada, and the like. Regardless of where it comes from, though, there's no denying that Riesling is a fantastic white wine grape.
While Riesling is most often associated with sweetness, dry riesling wines are plentiful and the most coveted. Sweetness is generally determined by when the grape was harvested - the first grapes harvested (labeled Kabinett in Germany) are the driest and the latter harvests tend to produce sweeter wines.

RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 9th Dec 2021 From vines about 100 years old from a parcel below the sundial, just down the Moselle, and aged in fuder, the 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is deep, intense and complex but also subtle on the refined and elegant, almost ethereal nose that intermingles perfectly ripe and healthy fruit aromas with notes of crushed stones. Lush and piquant on the palate with some fine tannins and very discreet new(er) oak notes, this is a vibrantly fresh and stimulatingly salty, well-structured WSU that is still far too young to show its true merits. Yet everything here—most of all its energy and incredible tension and salinity—indicates a great future. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 1721 in November 2021. (Stephan Reinhardt)

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, April 28, 2022 Beautiful fresh-pineapple aroma with hints of yellow grapefruit zest, candied lemon and graphite. Excellent balance of stone-fruit juiciness, medium body and citrusy freshness. Quite a compact mid-palate, then an impressive finish with mineral tension and a graphite note. Drink or hold.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Apr 2022 The 2020 Dry Riesling comes in with seven grams of residual sugar and 12.1% alcohol. This is a blend of vineyards, often a very good value in the somewhat pricey lineup. It is again. This year, in its youth, it has a touch of sugar around the edges, a friendly feel and a lush finish. It doesn’t have the steely hints that, relatively speaking, the 2019 could sometimes project, granting that they are not here together. They look the same on paper, but at least from recollection, they are at least a little different in style, feeding into the stereotypes of the 2019/2020 vintage styles. There is certainly reasonable acidity on the finish here with some tension cutting the fruit and sugar, but this is firmly in the friendly puppy style. If someone told me it was close to a semi-dry, I wouldn’t necessarily have been shocked. The very good news, though, is that it is simply delicious, likely to be a crowd-pleaser and something that will put smiles on faces at a very nice price.
RP93+93+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2021 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett offers a clear, precise and pure, lovely slate-driven bouquet with citric fruit and some cassis and gooseberry aromas. Crystalline, linear and fresh on the palate, this is an elegant, lush and silky-textured, precise and almost sharp but also round and finely sweet Kabinett from the Himmelreich that shows red and black currant notes on the aftertaste. A gorgeous Kabinett that has to be aged for 10–15 years. Sourced from 80-year-old vines on pure gray slate. Bottled with a spectacular total acidity of 12 grams per liter, but you don’t feel the grams of acidity; and believe me, it’s serious but balanced by extract and almost 50 grams per liter of residual sugar. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
RP94+94+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 Picked from 80- to 90-year-old vines with the fruit at around 75° to 76° Oechsle, Richter’s 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers pure yet intense and concentrated, flinty-scented fruit with citrus and red cassis aromas. Round and savory on the palate, with crystalline acidity and perfectly round fruit, this is an elegant and refined WSU with redcurrant notes on the saline finish. The acidity is fine but everything else is shy except for the great expression of the blue slate in the Sonnenuhr. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 13th Oct 2022 The 2020 Riesling trocken offers a clear, fine and spicy/slatey bouquet of ripe, brazen fruit. Round and fresh on the palate, this is a ripe, structured and saline Riesling with remarkable intensity from the first palate to the finish. Quite impressive for the first dry Riesling I have ever tasted from this iconic domaine in Ürzig, whose wines are vinified by Johannes Selbach from Selbach-Oster. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in September 2022 (from AP 003 21). (Stephan Reinhardt)
JS95+95–96 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, September 23, 2021 Electric acidity and tons of wet-stone minerality make this concentrated wine a star in this vintage of Mosel Spätlese. Succulent mid-palate, then a brilliant, driving finish that could wake the dead.
JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, September 23, 2021 Simultaneously juicy, very lively and elegant. Spot-on balance and brimming with white-fruit and lemon (fruit and blossom) aromas. Very clean and straight finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
