2024: James Suckling: 97/100 "Incredible aromas of ripe melon and fresh basil, but they’re only the most obvious aromas in the very wide spectrum. There are also papayas and hibiscus. So concentrated yet so vibrant, this flows over the medium-bodied palate. Dangerously minerally and refreshing finish that doesn’t want to stop."
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."
2018: RESTAURANT WINE® Issues #190-193: 5/5 stars "The Mandelring Scheurebe is also outstanding: intense and refined in flavor (pear, peach, honeysuckle, lime, clove), it is supple, full bodied, and well balanced, with a smooth, lingering finish. First rate; great value; needs 2+ more years of aging. Organic. [2022-2025]"
2017: James Suckling: 95/100 (Best wines of 2018 under $30) | restaurantwine (Ronn Wiegand): 5/5 stars - "The Mandelring Scheurebe is an unusually elegant version of this varietal. It has full body, smooth texture, and good balance, with a medium long finish, tasting of white peach, jasmine, tobacco, and pineapple. Can be aged further. Great value."
2016: James Suckling: 96/100 | Finalist vinum Riesling Champion 2017 (category: children of Riesling) | Antonio Galloni (vinous): 92/100 | The World of Fine Wine, issue 63: 91/100 (among the Top 10 of the tasting... "The finish is a picture of precision. ")
