The Pinot Noirs all show great substance and skilful use of wood. The estate wine is pleasantly light and accessible. The Niersteiner already shows exciting smoky notes and ripe berry fruit, while the Rosenberg is similar in style, but slightly more intense and powerful in every respect. The juicy Chardonnay impresses with its clear fruitiness. The pleasantly dry Rehbacher Steig Sommerseite is the clear leader of the dry Riesling line-up, with a slight spontaneous character, firm acidity and plenty of tension. The remaining dry Rieslings all play with a hint of sweetness, making them accessible early on. We particularly like the slightly floral, spicy Rote Hang Riesling and the slightly smoky, wonderfully salty Schloss Schwabsburg. The Beerenauslese from the same vineyard leads the three strong residual sweet wines. All three have an enormously refreshing acidity, which makes the sweetness wonderfully balanced and unobtrusive. The Kabinett is accessible with cool fruit, the Auslese shows clear yellow fruit, and the Beerenauslese shows exciting spice and honey notes in addition to ripe fruit. A strong showing!
