The weather is currently very hot, so what is better than a fresh Riesling?

The Zehnthof-Luckert 2023 Maustal Riesling Großes Gewächs is still very young; it offers notes of citrus, apricot, peach, herbs, and tobacco, with medium body, crisp acidity, and medium length - all well-balanced. We prefer the Silvaners from this vineyard site. 17.5/20 points.

The Molitor 2018 Graacher Domprobst Auslese*** Trocken (white capsule) is incredibly drinkable. It displays notes of cake batter, blossoms, herbs, and almonds, with medium-to-full body, slight bitterness, and a long finish; it is fresh, dense, mineral-driven, and complex. 18.8/20 points, with potential for more.

The Emrich-Schönleber 2018 Monzinger Halenberg Großes Gewächs features notes of blossoms, apricot, and herbs, with medium-to-full body and slight bitterness; it is fresh, long, dense, and highly mineral. The wine possesses great extract and enormous potential. Currently 19/20 points; perhaps even higher with further aging.
