Plenty of white tree fruit and Mirabelle plum aromas, but it is the smoky wild herb complexity on the juicy, medium-bodied palate that makes this stand out. Plenty of chalky character and a touch of saltiness in the long, well-structured finish. From organically grown grapes and wild-fermented. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Drinking window: 2024 - 2030 The 2023 Riesling was picked from younger vines in Saulheim and Essenheim. After a few hours of skin contact, it was fermented in 80% stainless steel and 20% used Stück. Animating freshness on the nose reminds of crunchy red-green apple, both tart and ripe, with a lovely citrus edge. The palate is dry, immensely juicy, vivid and mouthwateringly fresh. This is pristine, with a lovely flow. (Bone-dry)

Thörle Riesling Rheinhessen trocken 2022 – 92 points A very striking wine with stacks of flinty and cool stone fruit character. Only just beginning to open up, but the harmony on the juicy, medium-bodied palate is already spot on. So much chalky minerality at the long, polished finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

2022 Riesling – 87 points The 2022 Riesling is harvested in Saulheim and Essenheim in younger vineyards that average ten to 12 years old. Eighty-five percent was fermented in stainless steel, 15% in used Stück and stayed on gross less until bottling. The nose is redolent of very ripe fruit: juicy, golden pear, with a touch of pear skin, alongside peach. The palate is juicy, fresh and mellow on the mid-palate. On the finish, slight phenolics come to the fore alongside pleasant zestiness – a wine a bit like the year: ripe first, then cooler and zestier. (Bone-Dry)

Good tension between cool herbal aromas and ripe mirabelle character. The crisp lemony acidity is married to generous body and some chalky minerality on the medium-bodied palate. Good length and a precise harmony at the long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.

Man staunt immer wieder aufs Neue, wenn man diese herrlichen Gutsweine probiert. Beim Genuss-Preis-Verhältnis sind sie einfach unschlagbar. Herrlich frischer und zitrischer Duft nach Zitrone und Grapefruit, verbunden mit zarter Würze und herrlicher Mineralität. Das ist ein richtiger Strahlemann, der enorm viel Genuss bereitet. Am Gaumen mit schönem Schmelz und knackiger Säure, versprüht überall seine Lebensfreude. Ist im Auftakt noch die wunderschön gereifte Frucht im Vordergrund, kommt zum Abgang hin immer stärker die Mineralität zur Geltung. Ein exzellenter Gutswein Riesling. (pb)

"I love the expressive nose of flint, lemon zest and fresh quince of this basic dry riesling, which tastes like a miniature GG. Remarkable depth and textural complexity for this category, the typical racy acidity of the vintage driving the chalky finish along at a brisk clip."

Wine Enthusiast, Jahrgang 2016: 91 Punkte:

"Lithe and lean in style, this light-bodied dry Riesling offers up loads of blossomy, citrusy delight. Spine tingling lemon-lime acidity is balanced neatly against concentrated tangerine and honey flavors. The finish lingers on a pleasantly waxy cling." ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA

Wallstreet Journal: "An exceptional Riesling!"

“This has a ravishing black cherry note with hints of leather and smoke. For a pinot noir in this price category, there’s great concentration, polished tannins and a long, complex finish. Drink or hold.“
