“Of all Germany’s grapes, Riesling is the most noble, and 2005 arguably the strongest in a succession of strong vintages, producing wines with balanced minerality and lovely ripeness.”
Christelle Guibert, Decanter, March 2007

Arguably the greatest white grape on the planet, Riesling has the ability to produce wines with huge character.
Max Allen, Olive, January 2006

Hurrah for global warming, if it is going to give a leg-up to the growers of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer.  I’ve just come back from there, and the growers couldn’t stop grinning.
Margaret Rand, WINE International, January/February 2006

Already the top German wines are more and more sought-after, and prices are starting to climb.
Charles Metcalfe, WINE International, January/February 2006

Although Germany is now producing a wider range of wines than ever in living memory, including serious ripostes to both red and white Burgundy, there is one style of wine that nowhere else in the world can produce – the feather light yet ethereally refreshing and magically long-lasting, fruity Riesling with well under 10 per cent alcohol.
Jancis Robinson, The Financial Times, 24 December 2005

The best sites [of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer] are planted with Riesling. Nowhere in the world does this variety achieve such elegance and piercing purity of fruit as here.
Stephen Brook, Decanter, January 2006
