| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.6 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by NoTrollingerPlease on 2/28/2020 & rated 92 points: Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: February 2020 edition (@home): Glass: Zalto Universal
Popped and poured, drunk over two days. Tasted blind at day one.
Clear, medium golden color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose. Smoky, herbaceous, could be Nahe Riesling. Deep, dense and complex. Beautiful!
Dry, medium+ acidity. Very mineral, ripe yellow fruit, tangerine, grapefruit. Lots of pressure and tension, very good balance. Long and beautiful. Certainly at its full peak, but will stay there for at least 5+ years. 92-93 (831 views) | | | Tasted by Torchy on 2/22/2019 & rated 90 points: Friday night blind BYO (Anders Condoe): Nose with tea leaves, light citrus and tropical fruit. High acidity on the palate. Spicy, with hints of butter. (890 views) | | | Tasted by Puteljen! on 8/26/2016 & rated 91 points: This wine is beginning to show a bit more golden fruit - ripe pears, white peach - but still feels quite young with high acidity and quite intense iron/chalk minerals. On the finish just a hint of sweetness. Good stuff, with a future. (1367 views) | | | Tasted by kwachtv on 9/19/2013 & rated 90 points: A difficult vintage according to a German winemaker. Nevertheless this wine is very elegant with very clear fruit definition and persistence. Well made and only shortfall is the acidity which comes off a bit sharp on the finish. (2136 views) |

Tim Fröhlich was deservedly named “Winemaker of the Year 2010” by Gault Millau, as he is considered to be the most spectacular riser in German wine in recent years. “And not just with the outstanding large wines, the smaller wines are also impressive,” said the Gault Millau critics.Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)Großes Gewächs German wine classification

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)NaheAn der Nahe erwarten den Besucher sanftes Grün, romantische Flusstäler und dramatische Felsformationen. Dazu gastfreundliche Winzer und ihre vielfältigen Weine.
2.000 Jahre Weinbautradition hat das Anbaugebiet an der Nahe und den Nebenflüssen Glan und Alsenz. Vor kalten Winden durch den hohen Hunsrück geschützt, schaffen milde Temperaturen und viel Sonnenschein ein hervorragendes Klima für den Weinbau in dem regenarmen und sonnigen Tal. Hier wachsen auf rund 4.000 Hektar Rebsorten wie Riesling, Rivaner, und Silvaner. Auch die Spielarten des Burgunders sowie Kerner, Scheurebe, Portugieser und Dornfelder sind hier zu Hause. Lieblingskind der Winzer ist der an Finessen reiche Riesling, ein Viertel der Rebfläche ist damit bestockt.
Eine bewegte Erdgeschichte hat der Nahe-Region eine große Bodenvielfalt beschert. Die Reben wachsen auf Schiefergestein, vulkanischen Porphyr- oder Löss- und Lehmböden. Das ermöglicht eine Vielfalt an Rebsorten und Weinstilen.
