JAMES SUCKLING - 94 POINTS Wonderful nose of ripe apricot, but with fantastic Amalfi lemon freshness, also smoky and stony notes as this concentrated, medium-bodied dry riesling rolls gracefully over your palate. Long, intensely slatey finish. From organically grown grapes grown in all the top sites of Enkirch harvested at just 30 hectolitres per hectare (2 tons per acre). Drink or hold. Screw cap.
WINE ADVOCATE - 93 POINTS Based on very small, golden-colored berries, the 2022 Escheburg is predominately based on ungrafted vines from the grand cru sites and opens with an intensely aromatic and schistic bouquet of fully ripe, almost pink berries intermingled with saline notes of crushed stones. Sulfured just a few days before the bottling, this is a refined and saline, substantial and persistent Riesling with remarkable vintage and terroir expression. It's low in sulfur but high enough to be singing. 11% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in November 2023.
