"For lovers of classically ethereal, filigreed middle Mosel Rieslings, this is now one of the very best addresses in the entire region."- John Gilman,View From the Cellar
Max-Ferd Richter's wines have always held a special place in the hearts of avid German Riesling collectors, partly for their extraordinary substance, character, and longevity, but also for their simply astounding prices, which put them among the world's finest cellar-worhy buys in any category.
With effusive praise already from Anne Krebhiel of Vinous and Stuart Pigott, James Suckling's long-time Riesling critic, this newly arrived parcel of 2023s showcases this impeccably run estate in shining colors. The "sensational" Kabinett from Brauneberger Juffer is an unbeatable buy at under $25, while the "deliciously lip-smacking" Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett and its "absolutely fine, precise and elegant" Spätlese counterpart offer must-try renditions of one of Germany's greatest sites. What sets the estate apart, however, is their monopole Veldenzer Elisenberg vineyard, a south-facing site offset from the river with grey slate and quarz soils and a cooler micro-climate. The longer growing season in this vineyard produces wines of crystalline purity and balance at every level of the Prädikat classification. The 2023 vintage resulted in a "very sleek and racy" Kabinett and a Spätlese "with almost supernatural energy."
