Max Ferdinand Richter Estate Riesling 2021

“The 2021er Richter Estate Riesling, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is an off-dry wine (with 28 g/l of
residual sugar) made from young vines in the Grand Cru vineyards Brauneberger Juffer, Erdener Treppchen, and
Graacher Himmelreich. It offers a superbly spicy and zesty nose with good complexity as scents of anise, smoke,
minty herbs, white peach, cassis, and licorice. The wine is delicately playful on the palate as some fine and tickly
acidity gives focus to the nicely aromatic palate. The finish is airy, fresh, and lead by flavors of anise and candied
grapefruit. Now-2031. 89 points – Mosel Fine Wines

“The 2021 Richter Estate Riesling (or Riesling Feinherb in some markets) offers a clear and aromatic bouquet of ripe
and savory Riesling fruit intertwined with coolish flinty notes. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a savory and salty,
very charming and mouth-filling Riesling with stimulating grip and the concentration of partly very old vines cultivated
in the cooler side valleys that give more acidity than the vineyards in the main Mosel Valley. This is a convincing,
textured and very quaffable Riesling with a stimulating saline finish. 10.5% stated alcohol. 90 points – Stephan Reinhardt
