"If I had to choose one wine to show how great dry German Riesling can be I would choose a Keller Riesling. Those wines are the German Montrachets" - Jancis Robinson
The Hipping site is quite steep and facing the Rhine with red shale and slate soils. Often leaner and tighter with a more refined herbal mineral style. The slope is on an 80% incline at it's steepest.

Within Kiedrich’s Gräfenberg Grand Cru lies a small 0.5-hectare parcel once known as the Gräfenberg-Lay. Sitting in one of the steepest portions of the vineyard, the Lay is located at the transition between Gräfenberg and Turmberg and is known for having the highest concentration of phyllite slate on the hill. The vines here are now between 40 and 60 years old.
This site was originally purchased by Dr Robert Weil in the 19th century, using the dowry from his marriage … more

"This great Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese shows exactly the combination of white flower and white peach aromas with silky succulence and extraordinary freshness that made these wines legendary. There's a healthy amount of unfermented grape sweetness, but the interplay of this with the myriad other components is so complex and fascinating. Super-graceful finish that feels like stroking satin. Drinkable now, but best from 2026." 97 points, Stuart Pigott, Jamessuckling.com
This parcel of Braunenberger Juffer offers up a generous fruits, round full mouthfeel. It has Richter’s hallmark layering and complexity, not though, the racy acid of the Graacher and Wehlener Kabinetts. It’s the one to drink early of the Kabinetts. Kind of like the Prüm’s Badstube Kabinett.

"Still very youthful on the nose, this is crammed with ripe peach, plus more delicate notes of pineapple and mangosteen. It's a minor miracle that this kind of concentration can be packed into such a sleek, medium-bodied palate. What an amazing mouthfeel this has thanks to the seamless integration of slatey acidity and ripeness. Very long finish with spot-on balance. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." 97 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
"Deep flinty nose with complex mirabelle, fresh quince and baking spice notes. Ripe and very focused, medium-bodied with an energy that builds and builds as it drives its way out towards the distant horizon. Excellent aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2023." 97 points. Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

"The 2012 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule (AP #16 13) reveals a concentrated bouquet of highly delicate Riesling berry aromas along with grapefruit flavors. Rich and concentrated, but with lots of finesse, transparency and elegance on the palate, this noble sweet Auslese is fresh, delicate and very stimulating." 96 points, Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
The Grosses Gewächs Réserve wines are selectively harvested from the finest parcels of very old, ungrafted vines. They are naturally fermented in the same way as the GGs but stay for 24 months on the full lees in traditional Fuder casks. They are then held in bottle for a further 24 months before release. This extended maturation brings an extra dimension of finesse and balance to our wines. Erdener Prälat is perhaps the greatest vineyard in the Mosel region. It … more

"This very concentrated and super-elegant riesling Auslese is still tightly-wound. However, it already has a very wide spectrum of subtle yellow fruit and wild flower aromas. Terrific structure behind the rich, but still medium-bodied palate. Incredibly long, slatey finish with staggering freshness that pulls you back for more of this Mosel masterpiece. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." 97 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
"The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese #22 was selected in "two to three parcels of old vines," Katharina Prüm explained. The nose still has a touch of yeast, and underneath, it shimmers almost with the crunch of a green but red-cheeked apple. The palate is utterly fine. This seems weightless and light, with the most serene balance of sweetness and freshness, coming across as effortless, unforced, with a subtle savoriness in the distance, waiting to make itself more felt in … more
"A very great Mosel Auslese with the combination of enormous concentration, exotic ripeness and vibrancy that we expect from the very top producers of this style. What a fantastic interplay of grape sweetness and aromatic richness with an underlying slatey acidity that makes this so pure and straight. Drink or hold." 98 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
