JAMES SUCKLING - 94 POINTS
Still like a tight rosebud that’s just picked up some color, this is a very elegant and precise Rheingau dry riesling with crystalline purity. Stacks of candied lemon, fresh garden herb and wet stone character. Long fine-grained finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Glass stopper.
WINE ADVOCATE - 93 POINTS Becker's 2021 Wallufer Walkenberg Riesling Spätlese trocken opens with a clear, elegant and aromatic bouquet of white peaches, crushed stones and deep earth. Very refined and elegant on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, tight, saline, well-structured and savory Riesling with character and good length. This is a first-class gastronomic wine that can easily be paired with many dishes including white meat. 12.5% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted at the domaine in Walluf in September 2023.
ANTONIO GALLONI - VINOUS - 92 POINTS The 2021 Riesling Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken comes with spicy notions of citrus and a little yeast alongside subtle hints of Mirabelle. Fruity tartness defines the nose. The palate is immediately buffered, smooth, bright and citric. Fine Reine Claude and Mirabelle plum aligned around a pink grapefruit zestiness, slightly yeast-textured and bright, bone dry, with juiciness and lightness and yet much substance and sustained yeasty freshness. (Bone-dry)
