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.
No matter what you're looking for, you'll find the perfect Riesling wine right here at WineMadeEasy.com!
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese opens with a concentrated, finely flinty/mineral bouquet of fully ripe and slightly stewed stone fruits intermingled with iodine nuances. Dense and lush on the palate and provided with ripe, crystalline and imbedded salinity, this is a mouth-filling and quite intense Spätlese that is already accessible. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 13 21 in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
RP95+95+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese opens with a clear, intense and fascinating floral bouquet with (honey) blossom aromas intermingled with refreshing mineral notes of crushed stones. Round and mouth-filling yet very fine and elegant on the palate, this is a weightless Auslese with savory, crystalline and precise acidity that carries this beautifully digestible Auslese to a fine and aromatic finish. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 18 21in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
RP9696 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is discreet and remarkably coolish on the dense and lemon-scented nose compared to Zeltingen and Bernkastel. White peach and nectarine aromas intertwined with coolish broken slate aromas make this a savory and irresistible Auslese, even though, or exactly because of it, this is so discreet and only subversively erotic on the nose. The palate then reveals stunning lightness and finesse based on a filigreed structure and highly refined and zesty acidity. This is almost weightless, but it has a sweet core that materializes the fruit, whereas in the transcendental Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, it’s more of an idea. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 19 21 in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2022 This feels like it’s holding back a little on the floral, apricot, lime and slate flavors. Light-bodied and graceful, this is well-structured and focused on the lingering finish. Reveals just a touch of earthiness that should disappear with aeration (as this did) or age. Best from 2024 through 2045. 110 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
RP9898 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is intense and complex on the still introverted but complex nose that shows clear, bright fruit aromas (baby pineapple) intermingled with fine, flinty slate notes. What an aristocratic appearance! Round, crystalline and saline on the palate, this 2020 Auslese is much more openhearted and fruity as well as frisky and frivolous than it pretends to be on the nose. This is a really Catholic Riesling or a picture-book Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese. Its finish, however, is Protestant: rigorously linear, straight and with serious structure and grip. All in all, this is the world’s most ecumenical Sonnenuhr. Pure fascination. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 38 21 in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
JS9696 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, November 10, 2022 This Spatlese beams you up to Cloud 9, from where you have a wonderful view over the beautiful Mosel Valley. In spite of the considerable concentration, this is super-delicate and precise on the barely medium-bodied palate. Enormously long finish, where you barely feel the natural grape sweetness. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)RP95+95+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is pure, clear and flinty on the concentrated nose that is reminiscent of a fresh fruit salad served on a slate plate on an early summer morning. Light, lush and highly finessed but seriously structured on the palate, this is a savory, very clear and elegant Sonnenuhr Spätlese with great precision and finesse and highly stimulating salinity and mouth-watering grip on the finish. The acidity is crystalline and very delicate, making this another great Mosel Spätlese from the 2020 vintage. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 37 21 in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2022 An energetic, well-built wine, with juicy peach, fleshy lychee and guava flavors set against fine mineral and racy acidity. Delivers a flash of ginger, which adds nice warmth to the zesty finish. Drink now through 2040. 160 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Sunday, December 11, 2022 Aromas of peaches, pears, beeswax and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with a silky texture. Juicy and fresh with crisp acidity and lovely drive. Stone fruits with orange peel undertones. Drink now. (James Suckling)
