WINE ADVOCATE – 92 POINTS The 2023 Riesling pur mineral is intense and sexy on the nose that indicates fully ripe and lush fruit. Round and saline on the palate, this is a supple but pure, spicy and tensioned Riesling also for Burgundy lovers. It was sourced in the Centgrafenberg and aged on the lees for six months. 11.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024, three days after the bottling. Stephan Reinhardt.
JAMES SUCKLING – 93 POINTS What a joyful nose of spring meadows, white peaches and crisp pears this sleek and youthful dry riesling has. I love the fresh herb delicacy and freshness in the long and filigreed finish. Drink now.Stuart PigottSenior Editor
Store notes:The clear, light lemony-hued DRY Riesling by Rudolf Furst evokes childhood memories of Lemon Warheads on the nose… it’s quite vibrant and engaging.. with a hint of barely ripe nectarine. On the palate more of that lemon and salted nectarine comes through.It is super clean, not too aggressive on the acid, with a crisp, bright and DRY finish. It gets the tastebuds going. A thirst-quencher indeed! Enjoy chilled on it’s own, with seafood, salads or with chicken. Taking the reins from his father Paul (who still helps in the background) Sebastian Furst is making great wines from Franken grown on red sandstone (which is older than limestone), and making elegant, graceful wines that stand out amongst others.
