99 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Delicate herbal savouriness, fine white tropical fruit, some mango, a touch of honey blossom, very inviting, multi-faceted bouquet. Taut, tightly meshed, fine fruit, finesse and elegance on the palate, salty minerality, lime on the finish, great length, certain ageing potential for many years. (7/10/23)"

97 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "This wine is produced from eight parcels of the original steep and south-facing cru, which is open to the wind, and fermented separately in oak vats of different seizes (from 228 to 2,400 liters). Tement's intensely lemon-colored Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Ried Zieregg GSTK offers a deep and complex, very intense, rich and generously aromatic but always precise, fresh and mineral-backboned (even iodine-inflected) bouquet of concentrated lemon aromas, lemongrass and liquid limestones. Dense and elegant on the palate, with tropical fruit aromas and a perfectly integrated acidity/tannin complex, this is a tight, tense, stimulating and fresh Zieregg that is the most complete and generous 2020 of all Ziereggs... the 2020 Zieregg caresses the palate before it gives it and your brain a job to do. The wine is very salivating, sensual but also intellectual, with a lemon-bitter finish. A great wine and one of the finest Ziereggs in history. Highly recommended... Drink: 2029-2060. (9/29/23)"

97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "What a complex nose this magnificent dry white has. It also happens to be sauvignon blanc! Wonderful interplay of lemon-balm and licorice aromas, with a stunning, creamy texture and fine tannins. Then the chalky minerality builds and builds at the very focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Glass stopper. (12/18/22)"
