Riesling wine is often associated with Germany, where it's very popular and where it first earned its keep, but there are also great Rieslings coming out of other cool-climate growing regions like New York's Finger Lakes, Oregon, Washington, Canada, and the like. Regardless of where it comes from, though, there's no denying that Riesling is a fantastic white wine grape.
While Riesling is most often associated with sweetness, dry riesling wines are plentiful and the most coveted. Sweetness is generally determined by when the grape was harvested - the first grapes harvested (labeled Kabinett in Germany) are the driest and the latter harvests tend to produce sweeter wines.
No matter what you're looking for, you'll find the perfect Riesling wine right here at WineMadeEasy.com!
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 15, 2021 Bright and fresh, with a lively mix of lime zest, peach and fennel notes. Offers good zip on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 421 cases made. (James Molesworth)
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2021 A friendly, just off-dry style, offering a lively mix of green apple, lime and kiwi flavors laced with a subtle fennel frond note. Drink now. 6,162 cases made.
WE8585 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2022 Aromas of honeysuckle, canned peach and dried herb lead to medium-sweet, stone-fruit and dried apple flavors. There’s some bitterness on the finish. (Sean P. Sullivan)
JS9696 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, April 12, 2021 Plenty of exotic-fruit character from botrytis, but they haven’t made this refined Auslese loud, only more complex and tantalizing. Considerable concentration, but everything fits together so neatly that it comes off as restrained. Very complex, almost dry finish with a hint of vanilla pod. Delicious now, but so much aging potential. Drink or hold.RP95+95+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 From the overripe and botrytized berries of the Spätlese selection, the 2019 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is intense and concentrated on the nose, but due to the sulfuric notes, it is far from being as terroir-driven as the Spätlese or even the Kabinett. The fruit is concentrated yet piquant, fresh and elegant on the palate and pure, refined and subtle on the finish due to the crystalline acidity and finesse that represents the JSU. This is an excellent Spätlese that needs at least a decade to age to its full finesse. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The 2019 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is fascinatingly pure, bright, refined and flinty on the nose that reveals very fine Riesling, slate and iron aromas. Pure, fresh and filigreed on the palate, this is a crystalline, fresh and piquant, crisp and crystalline JSU Spätlese in the acidity-accentuated MFR style. The finish is pure and salty, piquant and concise and makes this an exciting wine to try again in 20 years. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. (Stephan Reinhardt)JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, April 12, 2021 I love the beautifully ripe but delicate yellow-fruit aromas of this Spätlese, ranging from mirabelle to peach and just a hint of honeysuckle. A noble wine that remains restrained and slowly reveals its treasures to the patient. Discreet grape sweetness adds a touch of creaminess to the mid-palate, but the very mineral finish is totally clean. Drink or hold.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The 2019 Elisenberger Riesling Kabinett is very clear, fresh and coolish on the still reductive yet pure and stony nose. Lush and piquant on the palate this is a concentrated, lean and laser-sharp Riesling with juicy fruit and concise acidity. The finish goes straight, which makes this a Riesling for Japanese knife fans. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 02/21 Elisenberg sits on the south side of the Mosel, set well back from the river, behind the town of Mülheim. The cooler climate and combination of slate and quartz in the soils gives the wine a unique character — in the case of this 2019, one that’s herbal and sagey, with layers of lemony flavor — zest, pith, pulp and lemon verbena. The bright acidity gives it a vivacity that’s mouthwatering, ready to slice through a savory bread pudding.
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The 2019 Elisenberger Riesling Spätlese is very clear and concentrated on the dense and lime-fresh nose that is attractive in its precision, concentration and possibly also its cereal-tinged, crisp fruit aromas. Sweet and concentrated on the palate, this is a rich and very precise, tightly structured and persistent Spätlese with laser-sharp acidity that is imbedded into the dense, elegant and persistently salty Spätlese fruit. This is a great terroir wine—in 20 years—and I don’t see much sense in opening it a moment sooner. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. (Stephan Reinhardt)
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 The 2019 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese is from 70-year-old vines in the Bußlay (Busslay) plot, a former top vineyard in Erden, and opens with a deep, pure, fresh and crunchy/earthy slate aroma intermixed with delicate, flinty and clear, crisp Riesling aromas. Filigreed, sweet and finessed on the palate, this is an intense and concentrated Spätlese of great class, with a complex, salty-piquant and crisp finish. The acidity is quite high and sharp here but meets the concentrated, sweet fruit, making this a kind of Eiswein among the Spätlese wines. The wine is really crisp and green and needs years to age. Fascinating but dangerous if you are not used to this kind of acidity. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 25th Aug 2022 Picked at 76° Oechsle, the 2021 Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling Kabinett Feinherb is intense and lemon-fresh on the nose that shows pure and flinty fruit. Lush but clear and filigreed on the palate, with fine, crystalline and playful slate acidity, this is a remarkable, substantial and charmingly textured but frisky Sonnenlay Kabinett made in the medium-dry/sweet style. Bottled with 25 grams per liter of residual sugar and 9.5% alcohol, this is an excellent wine to have with food, particularly in 5–10 years. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. (Stephan Reinhardt)
