Gorgeous wine and so energetic as 12 is not the warmest vintage but Niklas still manages to get unreal purity and ripeness. Deeply spicy nose, cardamom, clove, cinnamon, slate, asian spices. Just terrific. Palate is crackling but also has terrific mid palate opulence and acid and energy for days on the finish. Drinking so well now. — 6 days ago

What a nose. Spice, umami, deep aroma, clean dry botrytis, honey, peanut butter, rich concentrated, texture, ripeness, honeyed apricot fruit. So hedonistic. — 2 years ago

Juicy nose, apricot, but a bit quiet now. Huge power, depth and concentration, grippy and dense, tremendous, higher sugar and high extract, dense, huge acid, love the structure, energetic for days. So so good. Just spectacular. Needs age. But this is as special as it gets. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2022 | Weingut Ludger Veit | present of my godschild’s husband. I am critical if a Mosel is nót made of Riesling, but admit this is really good. — 4 months ago

Wow. In the zone. Palate had confectionary cotton candy and smarties. Gorgeous apple pie nose. Drink up but no rush but kind of a rush. — 2 years ago

Nose is so complex. Wide open nose of spices, herbs, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, apricot, meyer lemon, so comple, Riesling perfume, also leather and slate. Age has done wonders. Airy minerality as well. What a palate, This is perfect wine. So much going on. Bittersweet cocoa and coffee and also unreal acids and super complex. In the best spot. Umami for lack of a better word on the palate. Long and chewy. Honeyed, Total bee sting on the tongue. Clean and fresh. @Delectable Wine this is the Goldtropfchen Spatlese “Jupp.” Thanks! — 2 years ago

Nose: lovely brioche and lemon peel perfume. Quite aromatic.

Palate: delicious sweet lemon fruit. Mineral. Hint of grapefruit. Delicious

An incredible entry level Sparkler. Not super complex on the palate or this would rank higher. But for the price you cannot beat it for this style of citrus forward sparkling.

I was worried about this bottle as the fill level was low and there was a lot of seepage. Didn’t matter at all. Fantastic nose of concentrated stone fruit: apricot, peach, some pineapple as well. Sweet smelling flowers ie honeysuckle and slight jasmine note. Nice, mild petrol aroma. On the palate very concentrated and in a great place in terms of the freshness and acidity combined with that aged Riesling profile of honeyed stone fruit, candied pineapple, dried citrus rind, all with a acidity framing the wonderful fruit. In a great place right now.
