Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95
"Honey-laden liquid minerals make up the nose of the medium to full-bodied 2001 Riesling Auslese Oberhauser Leistenberg. This medium to full-bodied wine of huge breadth has superb focus and concentration. Pure flavors of smoky minerals and botrytis can be detected in its silky-textured, rich, and complex personality as well as in its admirably long finish."

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"A beauty. Distinctive flavors of coconut, vanilla, grapefruit and lemon candy mingle with the firm structure in this tightly wound '01 auslese. Really compact and unyielding at this stage. What a finish."

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
