Thörle Riesling Saulheimer Probstey 2024

96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2024 Riesling Saulheimer Probstey is from a south-facing sandy loam and limestone slope that is the warmest in the portfolio. Unusually, the Probstey was harvested last in 2024, when it is typically one of the earliest single sites to be picked. This fermented in Stück only. A smooth note of lemon on the nose is tender, with just a touch of smokiness. The palate is complete and bright, with the ripest, aromatic acidity of freshly zested Amalfi lemon peel and vivid length. There is something pervasive about this, despite that smoothness. It drives forward and downward into the depth of the soil. This is so bundled, radiant and serene. (Bone-dry). Drink: 2028-2060. (Jul 2025)"

96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Let yourself sink into the amazing creamy and silky texture of this great dry riesling. Stunning concentration and restrained power. The citrusy freshness beautifully complements the salty minerality and smoky lees character in the impeccably balanced, very long finish. Fascinating aromas of dried flowers develop with aeration. From organically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in a 1,200-liter neutral oak cask, then matured for eight months on the lees before bottling. Drink or hold. (8/20/25)"

94 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Thörle's 2024 Probstey Saulheim Riesling is very pure, saline and stony on the nose that is reminiscent of crushed stones, apples and starfruit. Elegant and juicy yet even more savory and provided with crunchy "minerals," this is a thrilling, fascinating picture-book Riesling revival from the old, pre-global warming times. Everything here is in balance, but there's also tension. This is a light Riesling with energy, finesse and mouthwatering salinity. 12.5% stated alcohol. Diam 30 cork. Tasted in August 2025. Drink: 2025-2045. (8/28/25)"
