German white wine in today’s market is primarily Riesling. Riesling is held by many to be the most noble of white wine grapes, and because of Germany’s cooler climate and soil composition, the grape thrives there to make wines of high quality.
German white wine of fine quality is also produced from Müller-Thurgau, Sylvaner and Gewürtztraminer grapes just to name a few. Red varietals are not completely abandoned as Germany produces a small quantity of Pinot Noir, which are labeled Spätburgunder.
Where are the best German wines produced? Outstanding German Riesling and the majority of German wines are produced in the Mosel, Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Nahe and Pfalz regions. These regions are located in west and southwestern corner of Germany, along the valleys of the Rhine River and its tributaries.

RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers a discreet and sublime, complex and very elegant and slightly flinty nose with a coolish and very delicate expression of stewed apricots but also some greenish berries, whereas the first stony character remains. This irresistible and noble bouquet leads to a round and lush yet also refined and savory palate, with coolish apricot flavors on the long and sustainably salty finish that is firmly structured but elegant and highly stimulating. This is a superb, very elegant and complex, sustainably structured Sonnenuhr. This is already a great pleasure to drink, but you can keep this Kabinett for more than three decades easily. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 05 22 in July 2022.

RP9797 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese opens with an intense bouquet of super ripe and concentrated, healthy shriveled raisins and overripe Riesling berries with very fine slate and flinty notes in the background. On the palate, the Zeltinger Auslese is clear, precise and crystalline, showing concentrated, saline and savory rather than sweet fruit brought to the dance by this delicate, crystal clear and mouth-watering acidity that make this a beautiful, already digestible Auslese whose bouquet and taste are aromatically two different worlds but logical. The fruit was shriveled in perfect condition, and the juice that came out reflects exactly this: freshness, precision and perfect ripeness. A fabulous Auslese from the "neighboring" Sonnenuhr. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 17 21 in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)

RP95+95+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 From 80- to 90+-year-old vines in the original plot below the sundial, the 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is very precise and fresh on the flinty, slatey and crisp fruit bouquet. Juicy-piquant and sweet on the palate, this is a tight and crispy, very intense yet still sulfuric Spätlese from a really great terroir. The fruit is still fresh and precise and was picked together with the dry GG selection, which is picked from the inner part with a higher acidity, whereas the Spätlese is from the outside berries that have more ripeness. The 2019 should be aged for at least 10 years. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
RP9696 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese offers a remarkably coolish, very bright, precise and delicate nose of very fine Riesling fruit and flinty slate aromas. Saline, perfectly round and refined on the palate, this is a filigreed but lush and oh-so-delicate and airy, virtually celestial Himmelreich with crystalline, highly delicate acidity. This is a pristine, light yet long and saline, incredibly frisky and elegant Mosel Spätlese whose clarity and finesse is mind-blowing. An incomparable beauty. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 02 22 in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, November 10, 2022 The concentrated and almost enveloping peach and apricot fruit, together with the racy acidity and the enormous herbal and mineral freshness, make this a dazzling Spatlese. Very pure finish, with a delicate note of floral honey, but only a hint of sweetness. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 9th Dec 2021 From vines about 100 years old from a parcel below the sundial, just down the Moselle, and aged in fuder, the 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is deep, intense and complex but also subtle on the refined and elegant, almost ethereal nose that intermingles perfectly ripe and healthy fruit aromas with notes of crushed stones. Lush and piquant on the palate with some fine tannins and very discreet new(er) oak notes, this is a vibrantly fresh and stimulatingly salty, well-structured WSU that is still far too young to show its true merits. Yet everything here—most of all its energy and incredible tension and salinity—indicates a great future. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 1721 in November 2021. (Stephan Reinhardt)
RP93+93+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 The 2021 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett offers a clear, precise and pure, lovely slate-driven bouquet with citric fruit and some cassis and gooseberry aromas. Crystalline, linear and fresh on the palate, this is an elegant, lush and silky-textured, precise and almost sharp but also round and finely sweet Kabinett from the Himmelreich that shows red and black currant notes on the aftertaste. A gorgeous Kabinett that has to be aged for 10–15 years. Sourced from 80-year-old vines on pure gray slate. Bottled with a spectacular total acidity of 12 grams per liter, but you don’t feel the grams of acidity; and believe me, it’s serious but balanced by extract and almost 50 grams per liter of residual sugar. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
