Just insane. Nose is so fine. Lemon oil, lemon pith, yeast and toast. Glorious baking spices. Hint of oxidation adds to the allure. Palate is so good. Unreal fine mousse. I mean FINE. Top notch finesse and elegance and wonderful sapidity. My god the pitter patter on the finish of spice, acids and fine textural mousse stuff is phenomenal. This is as good as it gets in Germany. — 2 days ago

100% Pinot Blanc from limestone soils, 90 months on the lees, disgorged Apr ‘22.
very fresh & enticing with green & yellow apple, lemon peel, candied ginger, a hint of short bread.
Nice creamy mouthfeel with some richness but also racy acidity. So precise & poised. Tiny, persistent bubbles, nice depth, great energy & flow.
A brilliant wine.

Disgorged Nov 2019
This has depth & complexity way beyond my expectations. Very fine mousse, withy tiny, persistent bubbles. Fresh nose with hazelnut, some green walnut and freshly cut apples. Great precision on the palate, not very rich but still with good breadth, fresh apples and a streak of lemon juice balancing everything beautifully. Hazelnuts and apple tart. Amazing length. This is elegant, complex and bordering on profound. — 5 years ago

Made by Jan Wongse of Raumland and Felix Keller at Keller, from Theresa Breuer’s Roseneck vineyard (leased I believe). A unicorn. Marginally less extract than the Keller wines on the table I felt, but the complexity and precision was awe-worthy. A really filigreed rendition of Rheingau (perhaps atypical of this vineyard?). Lime, grapefruit, nectarines, mandarin, flowers, fresh herbs, and sea spray. Pure, fresh, and airy on the palate, yet still manages to bring about some beautiful silky textures. Laser acidity and an incredibly salty spine, along with some spices in the backend. Impressive really and if anything, shows that the future is in very good hands. — 3 years ago
