Robert Parker (95)
The 2019 Riesling GG Felsenberg is pure, fresh and flinty on the precise, perfectly ripe and complex nose. Lush and generous on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense, salty, remarkably finessed and structured Felsenberg Riesling with lingering salinity and crystalline character. The finish is dense and very complex yet vital, fresh and long, with lots of expression. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020.
James Suckling (95)
Dense, grapefruit and sage aromas, then a wonderful combination of great power and stunning vibrancy on the palate. Very long, smoky-mineral finish with great clarity. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.
Jancis Robinson (17.50)
Pure, stony citrus, opening out to white-blossom fragrance but delicate rather than heavily perfumed, the citrus becoming more intense as it opens. Creamy texture with, at the heart, direct and crisp intensity on the palate. Long, dry and precise, with a lot more complexity in the making even though it is delicious now. Builds to a crescendo of pure citrus on the long finish. (JH)
Falstaff (98)
Still closed nose, some citrus and quite intense rocky notes. Richly textured with very fine phenolics, a texture without effort, ultra-fine acidity and not a moment of isolated sweetness, distinguished and enigmatic.

The 2019er Felsenberg -GG-, as it is referred to on the consumer label, and referred internally at the Estate as Felsentürmchen (there is a tower depicted on the label), offers a superbly delicate and complex nose with some flowery scents of anise, candied lime, lavender, Conference pear, and a hint of melon. It proves exquisitely creamy and finely juicy on the not fully dry-tasting palate and leaves a smooth and gorgeous feel of vineyard peach and almond in the long and spicy finish. This is a superbly made and hugely attractive expression of smooth yet focused dry Riesling.
