Like a soapy tropical little German Pils from Scheurebe. Grapefruit scented mosaic hops and dank marijuana crystals. Hints of mango and papaya floating in the periphery. A body with some girth and buttercream to yang the ying of acid you couldn't complain about not even for a second. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2016 | when I bought this in Germany, I asked how long it would last. The Ahr is not known for Riesling, do not keep it too long, was the answer. Wrong answer, imo. This wine is now delicious with awesome sweet/acidity balance. Great! — a month ago

Vintage 2019 | this bottle survived the ‘Hochwasserfluss’ disaster in 2021. Now at home it tastes even better than in July when we were there. Refinement and elegance. — 3 months ago

Dry. Went back to the Alte Wache in Freiburg i. Breisgau. What a City! Had this with a Matjeshering Sandwich. Food made the difference - this is a match in heaven. Perfect with salty oily fish. I always pair Matjes herring or any pickled version with Riesling. Classic Kabinett, mandarine, faint diesel really just a touch, surprisingly some tannins - smidgen tart. Lemon 🍋. — 7 months ago

Vintage 2022 | This is the basic Pinot noir of the cooperation Mayschoss Altenahr in the Ahr, the oldest in the world. Ridiculous price and só lovely, bottled raspberries and elegance. Topwine on a Monday evening after a hard days work. Paired with Cantonese beef with mango, a dish we have been making for 30 years and still makes us ultra happy… — 2 months ago

Vintage 2016 | Brown colour, explosive and fruity smell: mesmerizing! Beautiful balance. I am impressed by this German Pinot Noir that is à Point. Paired with Gougères (cheese puffs made with Gruyère), petit tendre beef and zucchini tarts. — 4 months ago

Pale goldenrod yellow;on the nose white flower field, green fig, orange pith. On the palate fairly medium bodied with fantastic orange/ lemon cream popsicle, white grape, hints of those white flowers, yellow zucchini. Oodles of layers & intensity & absolutely beguiling. Kick off to a Columbia County weekend w friends. — a year ago
