95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This brilliant Nahe dry riesling is like the essence of slate. All the shades of citrus plus flint and ripe goosberries. Amazing vibrancy and dynamism, the underlying ripeness easily balancing the strident acidity that drives the extremely long and focused finish. From 20- to 30-year-old vines in the Felseneck GG site. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. (7/30/24)"
94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling Schiefergestein is from the younger vines in the Bockenauer Felseneck (up to 35 years old). Smoke on the nose blends with yarrow and lemon peel. The palate has a seamless fluidity, brimming with bright acid and still smoky with yeast, streamlined and tingling with freshness. It presents wonderful dimension on a slender, most elegant footprint. Sleek, svelte and simply yummy. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2050. (Sep 2024)"
17/20 points Jancis Robinson, MW: "Cask sample. A bit broader and more approachable than the Vulkangestein with real texture and a bone-dry but not punishing finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2032. (4/29/24)"
