96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The interplay of complex exotic fruit aromas with elegant acidity, restrained creaminess and juicy grape sweetness is fabulous. Stacks of mangosteen and mango fruit, with a long, super-clean and bright finish in spite of the generous slug of grape sweetness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (8/21/25)"

94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2024 Riesling Siefersheimer Heerkretz Spätlese was made with around one-fifth of clean botrytis. While the nose is shy, gorgeous citrus leaf verges straight into white peach on the palate. It is fringed with mouth-watering lemon and a tender sweetness that pushes the citrus even more. This is alive, electric, elegant, bright and bedded on a gentle creaminess. It is long and exquisite, with an endless citric finish. This counters 90 g/L of residual sugar with 7.5 g/L of acidity. (Sweet) Drink: 2028-2050. (Sep 2025)"

93 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2024 Riesling Heerkretz Spätlese VDP Grosse Lage is intense and savory on the nose that shows perfectly ripe and healthy fruit with crystalline and saline notes of crushed stones. Supple, intense and hedonistic on the palate, this is a round and salty-caramelly Spätlese with a dense texture and a long, intense, crystalline and saline finish. 7.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in October 2025. Drink: 2030-2050. (11/6/25)"
