JAMES SUCKLING: "Welcome to the smoke-hole of radically mineral dry riesling! Here is the dark side of the force, in spite of the yellow-grapefruit zest. Very slowly but steadily opens with aeration. So ripe, yet so savagely original, so precise and subtle. The finish is like licking a samurai sword from the hilt to the tip. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Forget what you heard about this vintage in Germany, here is a very exciting exception. What a mysterious dry riesling this is, the complex nose of fresh sage, anise and flint pulling you into the staggeringly focused, mineral palate. Dangerously energetic at the explosive wet-stone finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "From a two-hectare parcel with the oldest (50+ years) vines, the 2021 Höllenpfad Im Mühlenberg GG shows a deep, quiet and subtle but very complex and generous bouquet of ripe fruits and finely crushed stones (Rotliegend). Full-bodied, rich and intense, with immense concentration and substance, this is a powerful yet firmly structured, elegant, very long and complex Riesling with ripe tannins and a long, refined and textural finish. The acidity is saline and ripe, very elegant and completely interwoven with body, fruit and tannin. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022."
