99 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This mind-blowingly elegant dry Rheingau riesling has incredibly deep citrus and floral aromas that make it hard to move on to actually tasting it. But then you descend into the deepest depths of this great terroir, the creaminess so beautifully balanced by the stony minerality and saltiness. Together, they pull you off into the dawn. From organically grown grapes with Fair Choice certification. Drink from release. Screw cap. (8/6/24)"
95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling Hochheimer Kirchenstück Grosses Gewächs was made from a parcel of vines planted in 1969. Tender peach beckons with creamy and juicy allure on the nose. The palate comes as a rounded, zesty-edged unity, with flow, brightness and smoothness that remains luminous. This glides and refreshes across the palate. The 2023 is a most elegant expression of immense charm. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2050. (Sep 2025)"
94 points Ulrich Sautter (Falstaff): "Dense and multi-layered on the nose, white flowers, ripe apple and apricots, Mirabelle plum, lemon, herbal savouriness. Powerful and full-bodied on the palate, compact and dense, piquant savouriness playing with ripe fruit, long on the palate, still youthful, needs time. Alcohol 13%. (11/11/24)"
