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."

2022: James Suckling: 95/100 "This youthful beauty needs some aeration for the wealth of stone fruit, mandarin orange and orange blossom aromas to fully unfurl. Concentrated and compact with stacks of wet stone minerality this is a strong wine that some may find a bit demanding right now, but this has been built for the long haul and has great potential." | enos Riesling-Challenge: Top Ten | Ronn Wiegand (RESTAURANT WINE® Issues #216-#223, Summer 2025): 5/5 "The Bürgergarten 2022 is terrific: supple and moderately intense in flavor (pineapple, peach, guava, lime), with very good balance, and a very long and persistent finish. A wine that displays both depth and elegance."
Animating, very own nose. Ripe, yellow heavenly fruit. Mineral touch. Aromas of orange blossom, coconut, passion fruit and white peach. Juicy fruit in the mouth, highlighted with an exceptional freshness. Creamy, dense and fine. Elegant acid structure surrounded by a playful fruitiness. Gives a lot of pleasure with its juiciness and the slightly salty finish. A wine with size and drinking flow - that fits together.
2021: James Suckling: 95/100 "A stunning single-vineyard dry riesling with apricot and mango aromas plus a wonderful harmony of ripeness and freshness on the generous and concentrated palate. The fine tannins and mineral acidity at the finish support this beautifully. So much apricot character and citrusy freshness at the very long finish." | Wine Enthusiast: "This is very classic in profile. An elegant frame sports shadings of ginger spice and minerality, with flavors of apricot and citrus, all together in an expressive, harmonious package. The inviting finish caps it." | Wine Enthusiast: "This is quite subtle at the moment, with an intense acidity forming the backbone for the notes of green apple and pear. Acidity forms the structure and gives this focus, but also keeps this away from showing its full flavor spectrum. Give it time. Best after 2027."
Fine stone fruit and citrus aromas with floral and mineral nuances. Aromas of plums, yellow peach, lime and quince peel. Harmonious interplay of yellow fruit, herbal and mineral elements. Dense fruit on the palate, juicy and powerful. Successful marriage of the ripeness of the fruit and the cool herbal spiciness.
2020: James Suckling: 95/100 "Deep stone-fruit and citrus aromas with some blossom notes. Stunning balance of ripe yet finely nuanced fruit and elegant acidity that then tightens to a long and pointed mineral finish that takes your breath away. 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.
2019: James Suckling: 95/100 "What a subtle, spicy nose with just a hint of smoke! So cool, focused and delicate. The mirabelle fruit slowly emerges with aeration in the glass, opening up a wide new vista. Patience will be rewarded by even greater elegance than the wine offers now. Drink or hold. From organically grown grapes." | Ronn Wiegand: 5/5 "A terrific dry Riesling. The Herrenletten is full bodied, intensely flavored (linden blossom, mint, honeysuckle, pineapple, peach), and crisp, with a long palate evolution, and a very long finish. Outstanding quality and value. Warrants 2+ more years of aging."
Aromatic ripe fruit with mineral undertones. Red apple, ripe quince and fine grapefruit. Light nuttiness with marzipan. Tension between ripe fruit, salty-herbal aromas and a fine note of caramel. Fascinating feel with lots of pressure. The Riesling is bursting with ripe fruit, racy body and creamy enamel. Delicate and multi-layered.
2018: James Suckling: 94/100 Points "Dried cloves, white pepper, saffron and lighter notes of almonds and cherry blossom. Full-bodied and powerful with a serious tannin structure, but there’s a wealth of finely tuned acidity behind that. Drink now or hold." | Robert Parker: 90+/100 Points "The 2018 Bürgergarten Riesling needed three bottles to convince me until it opened clear, pure and intense, with crushed stones and fresh ginger aromas on the nose. Pure, fresh and bright on the palate, this is a lithe, lush and salty dry Riesling with refreshing mineral grip and tension on the finish." | RESTAURANT WINE® Issues #190-193: 4+/5 stars "Full bodied and fairly rich in flavor (white peach, passionfruit, lime, apple), this is a well balanced, elegant Riesling, with a very long finish. Still quite young; warrants 5+ more years of aging. Great value! Unwooded. Organic. [2024-2028]" | enos 9th Riesling Challenge: 1st place in the category "Tastefully dry Rieslings of vintage 2018"
