Pale yellow with light golden reflections, subtle aromas of ripe pear, yellow stone fruit and light herbal spice. The round, very well-integrated acidity provides plenty of excitement. In the mouth, the Haardter Riesling remains rather slender, but has a good length. Perfectly balanced, precise and well-balanced. A Riesling that always opens up new facets when enjoyed!
2023: James Suckling: 94/100 "Wonderful aromas of mandarin oranges, nectarines and honeysuckle pour from the glass of this simultaneously succulent and vibrant dry riesling. Terrific energy and stony freshness on the medium-bodied palate and through the very long, dynamic finish. Makes you feel glad to be alive. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
This versatile accompaniment to many types of food has a delicate, lively bouquet of ripe apple and pear topped by a cool minerality, elegant body and full finish.
2023: James Suckling: 94/100 "I can’t remember ever tasting a dry pinot blanc with this kind of expressive citrusy intensity. Stacks of pomelo, grapefruit and bergamot, and behind all this is a deep well of crisp pear and delicate leesy complexity. Long and very structured finish that has a riesling-like minerality. Excellent potential. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
Thanks to its crystal clear melon and apple bouquet, and juicy body with a subtle nutty aftertaste, the Haardt Grauburgunder can be combined with modern cuisine in many different ways.
With its delicate bouquet of tropical fruits such as pineapple and grapefruit as well as gooseberry and cassis, this Haardt Scheurebe is focussed on freshness, vitality, and the exotic.
2023: James Suckling: 94/100 "Once you’ve smelled the fabulous nose of white peaches and melon topped with fresh mint and basil, there’s no turning back. So dynamic on the barely medium-bodied palate that you forget what it was that you were supposed to do. Terrific vitality on the very long, dangerously refreshing finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
Charisma and the purest aromas of fresh, green apples and a cool hint of nutmeg characterise this Haardt Muskateller with its elegant acidic structure and lively juicy succulence.
2023: James Suckling: 95/100 "A fantastic dry muscat that has none of the cliche aromas for this grape variety. Wonderful aromas of orange blossoms, mandarin oranges, persimmons and grapefruit (including the pith). Concentrated and refined with a super-elegant acidity that drives the very long, bright and precise finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
In the glass, the Riesling shines in a bright golden yellow. Exotic fruit and citrus aromas on the nose. Wonderful juiciness on the palate. Very fine play of a multi-faceted citrus aroma, pineapple and mango. Pervaded by an exciting minerality and salty sea air. Lean defined with yet deep yellow fruit that resides predominantly in the warm citrus range. A fresh, delicate acidity animates and ensures the juicy drinking flow. Recommended with risotto with green asparagus or salad with warm goat cheese.
2023: James Suckling: 95/100 "On the nose this is still a bit reserved, the long maturation on the lees quite obvious, but on the palate this is a beauty and a joy. As it aerates in the glass a wide spectrum of stone fruit, citrus and Asian pear aromas emerges. Great concentration and elegance on the finely nuanced, medium-bodied palate. Fantastic chalky power in the long, driving yet polished finish. From the terraced, high-altitude Vogelsang vineyard that’s a potential GG site. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." | Wein.Plus (Marcus Hofschuster): 92/100 "Favorite wine” issue 03/2024: "Great! This is impressive, many GG's don't even come close!”
Shades of minerality and the deep fruitiness of ripe stone fruit characterise this Riesling from Bürgergarten. The 40-year-old vines ensure the perfect combination of concentration and refinement in its full, captivating body.
2023: James Suckling: 97/100 "So rich and so elegant, who could resist this fabulously beautiful dry riesling? Stunning aromas of apricots, orange blossoms, mini bananas and tropical flowers emerge as the wine aerates. Underplayed concentration and power, the finish so filigreed and precise, yet also stony and zesty. You could study all these details for hours. Spot-on balance, too. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
Extremely ripe and concentrated fruity elements of peach, yellow plum, gooseberry and grapefruit are interwoven through the full body of this Riesling from the Haardt Herrenletten. The finish of this wine with its depth and cool minerality lingers for a good long time.
2023: James Suckling: 96/100 "This is incredibly cool and delicate in spite of its ample power and concentration. I love the nose of white flowers after a summer storm with European and Asian pear aromas. Then comes a wonderful yellow grapefruit zestiness that both lifts and drives the very long, compact finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
The Mandelgarten Riesling is a fruity variation on the regional Riesling: many juicy, ripe pears, pepper and flowery hints of jasmine. Its velvety Riesling body is fresh and full of life.
Tropical fruits of ripe pineapple and banana. Fresh walnuts and a touch of marzipan. Full and round in taste. Austere and herbal with a very long finish. A powerful Weissburgunder that goes well with veal, poulards or scallops that are served with a sauce refined with cream, Weissburgunder and herbs.
2023: James Suckling: 97/100 "What a fabulous interplay of fine toasty oak and caramelized pear character this great dry pinot blanc has. Also a delicate flinty note. Terrific concentration and every bit as much elegance on the medium-bodied palate. The wines from this grape variety are seldom as filigreed and precise as this is in the very long, delightfully pointed finish. Fermented and matured on the lees in 500-liter oak casks. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

2023: James Suckling: 98/100 (best rating ever given by James Suckling for a Pinot Blanc) "If this is dry pinot blanc decadence, then give me more. Extravagant nose that spans the range from mandarin oranges to white flowers, underlined with delicate leesy complexity. Breathtaking interplay of creaminess and mineral freshness, the former dominant at the front of the medium- to full-bodied palate, the latter taking control at the breathtaking finish. The finish doesn’t want to stop. Fermented and matured on the lees in 500-liter oak casks. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." | James Suckling Top 100 "Best Value” list worldwide: "The Müller-Catoir Weißburgunder Pfalz Herzog EL 2023 at number 7 is an incredible white wine with extravagant aromas of tangerine and white flowers and an endless, mineral finish. It is a decadent example of a Pinot Blanc and the only German wine on this list that is not a Riesling.”
Ripe, tropical fruit notes of grapefruit, pineapple and papaya characterise the juicy Scheurebe from the Haardt Mandelring with its luminous combination of sweet and sour in the finish.
2023: James Suckling: 97/100 "Anyone who wonders why they should pay attention to an unusual German grape variety called scheurebe gets to find how out how amazing these wines can be. All the colors of currant fruit, plus melons, mangosteens and passion fruit overlain by a wonderfully delicate, minty freshness. So concentrated, vibrant and focused on the medium-bodied palate. Great wet stone freshness at the super-long finish. From vines planted in 1965. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
