2017: James Suckling: 98/100 | restaurantwine (Ronn Wiegand): 5/5 stars - "Exceptional Rieslaner Auslese: aromatic and intensely flavored, this wine has stunning peach, honey, lime, rose petal, and elderflower aromas/flavors, excellent balance, and a crisp, persistent finish. First rate; needs aging." | EDEL Cup 2022 Germany: 95/100 points | Wine accompaniment at the Supperclub 2023 for "White Chocolate | Passion Fruit | Pineapple"
Exotic fruit salad including melon, fresh pineapple, mango and limes topped with coconut flakes. Touching the tongue like oil the aromas spread within the mouth, thereby revealing a fresh acidity. Now we taste the honey of the acacia. Yet the wine is still to young and closed. You will be rewarded plentyfully, if you are patient and let the wine develop for some years. To be served with Roquefort and ripe cheese.

Highly ripe Riesling grapes, thin-skinned, golden shining, pure yellow fruit with the scent of apricots and yellow peaches. The body is supported by a nearly endless juiciness, playing between fruit sweetness and acidity. In the finish this Riesling is full of tension, almost levitating and balancing.
2014: Robert Parker: 93/100
Of a golden-yellow colour, the Bürgergarten Spätlese 2013 emanates the scent of juicy pears, as well as the decent acidity of a juicy apple and sweet raisins, which is immediately confirmed by its taste. Great sweet-acid ratio. Mature notes are balanced with a lasting freshness. Fresh and enticing despite the sweet fruitiness. A must-have with fruit desserts or young blue cheese.
2013: Finalist Vinum "Riesling-Champion"
Light-yellow with golden reflections, the Bürgergarten Riesling Spätlese from 2012 opens up with a fine scent of apples, raisins and a certain hint of freshly-baked brioche that flows onto the palate of wine lovers. Now is the perfect time to enjoy this smooth, fruity Riesling!
