2023 ST. REMIGIUSBERG, TESCH Riesling trocken, Nahe
“How could the beauty of a ripe apricot be married to a lightning strike? That’s what this extraordinary dry riesling does. Generosity and purity are redefined as this flies over your palate with a staggering energy. The flash may be too bright for you, but that doesn’t alter the fact that it is a brilliant illumination that lights up the sky.” 97 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com“The 2023 Riesling St. Remigiusberg is grown on weathered volcanic soil of porphyry. It is Tesch’s smallest site, with vines grown on a steep slope and a flat plateau. Both citrus foliage and zest give immediate lift and life to the nose. The palate is pervasive, energetic, racy and exciting. There is much richness and fluidity at the core and a fill of ripe, juicy Mirabelle, but it remains absolutely zesty with ripe citrus. This is beautifully complete and serene. (Bone-dry)” 94 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com
“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,167 g. Next to Karthäuser on weathered volcanic rock and iron-rich clay which give very low yields. Orange capsule. Densely packed flavours on the nose. Very fresh and open. At the moment, it tastes a little simple but Martin Tesch assures us it often develops mandarin flavours with age (hence the orange capsule, presumably). The most astringent of these Tesch 2023 Rieslings at this stage. Yet to express itself fully.” 16.5/20 | J. Robinson | www.jancisrobinson.com
2023 KRONE, TESCH Riesling trocken, Nahe
“The yellow of morning sunshine shines from a clear sky straight into your face, making you feel glad to be alive. So pure and clean on the medium-bodied palate, then you sink into this light in the form of wet stone minerality.” 94 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com“The 2023 Riesling Krone is from old vines grown on a steep, southeast-facing slope of loam and weathered sandstone. The nose shows enticing glimpses of ripe, juicy nectarine and Navel orange. There is generosity and juiciness, but vivid citrus defines the wine in the end with its beautiful zestiness. This is exquisite, bright and really long. The rigorous sorting necessary in 2023 meant that this 2.5-hectare site could yield only 5,000 liters of wine. It was worth it. (Bone-dry)” 94 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com
“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,162 g. Next to Löhrer Berg on decalcified loess and weathered sandstone. Exposed to western winds. Yellow capsule. Fruit salad on the nose. Lots happening on the palate. Really rather opulent and peachy but it finishes dry and savoury. A wine that would be fine with many dishes. Persistent.“ 17/20 | J. Robinson | www.jancisrobinson.com
2023 KÖNIGSSCHILD, TESCH Riesling trocken, Nahe
“The 2023 Riesling Königsschild is a fully south-facing site of light, calcareous loess. Crushed citrus foliage and pale lemon skin set the tone on the nose. The palate follows suit with fine, lemon-scented freshness, super-light and vividly bright. This is the slenderest Riesling of the portfolio, citrus-focused and lip-smacking. (Bone-dry)” 92 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com“Powerful lime aroma, and an energy that makes this leap joyfully across your palate. Then, as the air starts to work on this, a whole fruit salad of aromas on the medium-bodied palate. Then the lime freshness gently builds again to a serious statement in the finish.” 95 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com
“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,161 g. 40-year-old vines on fertile loamy gravel soils. Lime-green capsule. Fragrant, floral nose leaps out of the glass. There is real energy in this delightfully well-balanced wine that’s already approachable with a mineral undertow.” 16.5+/20 | J. Robinson | www.jancisrobinson.com
2023 LÖHRER BERG, TESCH Riesling trocken, Nahe
“The 2023 Riesling Löhrer Berg was grown on heavy loam soils with great water availability. It opens with beautifully ripe stone fruit, shining with peach and nectarine, promising juicy generosity. The palate, however, delivers strait-laced brightness on a slender but juicy frame. Lemon zestiness on the finish makes the mouth water. This wine exemplifies site in its aromatic, ripe fruit profile, while the house style is embodied on the taut palate. (Bone-dry)” 91 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com“At once deep and delicate, friendly and fascinating, this is a wonderfully cool and gentle dry riesling with ample power. Then the lime and green apple freshness bowls you over in the white light finish. ” 94 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com

2023 KARTHÄUSER, TESCH Riesling trocken, Nahe
“What a radical riesling and what radical freshness. The soul of the samurai sword and the brilliant shine of its blade. Very sleek and focused on the medium-bodied palate, but this is the simplistic side of the wine’s description. Extremely long finish that ends in an excitingly sharp point.” 97 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,162g. From a south-west-facing amphitheatre of weathered sandstone. Maroon capsule. Brooding nose that’s still developing. Restrained aromatically but with a great weight and extract on the palate. Still a little chewy but all the ingredients are there for a very interesting future. Exciting peacock’s tail of flavours on the finish. Very definitely a food wine.“ 17+/20 | J. Robinson | www.jancisrobinson.com
2023 UNPLUGGED, TESCH Riesling trocken, Nahe
“Electrifying freshness and lightning bright Amalfi-lemon aroma, plus wet-stone minerality that makes this lift off on your palate. So focused on the medium-bodied palate. Such an exciting energy at the dangerously refreshing finish.” 93 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com“The 2023 Riesling Unplugged is the estate Riesling, made from old vines planted between the 1940s and 1970s across the single sites. The nose has the slightest frisson of passion fruit while the palate absolutely honors its name, with straight lines, uncompromising dryness and a matter-of-fact Rieslingness. There’s gorgeous citrus and not a frill in sight. Strait-laced, pure and lasting. (Bone-dry)” 91 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com
2023 RIESLING “T”, TESCH Riesling trocken
“The 2023 Riesling is made from 5-to-15-year-old vines and was first produced in 2019—note that in some export markets, this wine is called Queen of Whites. Fresh, juicy pear, lemon and crunchy apple promise fruit and freshness in equal measure. The palate is vividly light, translucent, fresh and bone-dry. This is energetic, utterly refreshing and incredibly animating. (Bone-dry)” 89 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com“A forthrightly citrusy and generous dry riesling. However, it is more lemon curd and dried lemon peel than fresh, zesty fruit. Excellent substance that exactly balances the moderately firm acidity and delicate dried-herb character.” 91 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com
“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,159 g. From newer vineyards designed for climate resistance. Slight spritz. Light nose, no suggestion of spontaneous fermentation. Still quite tart. I’d want to let this round out a bit before broaching.“ 15.5/20 | J. Robinson | www.jancisrobinson.com
2023 WEISSBURGUNDER “T”, TESCH trocken
“The 2023 Weissburgunder has a lovely scent of green pear peel, a touch of cucumber skin and powdery fern. The palate is light and bright with a smattering of pepper. The finish tapers into even more slenderness with exquisitely clean lemon freshness. Totally mouthwatering. (Bone-dry)” 89 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com“This very crisp, medium-bodied dry pinot blanc has a stack of crisp pear, fresh mint and parsley aromas. Super-straight and cool with a very clean finish. With this youthful energy it should develop very well.” 91 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com
2023 SPÄTBURGUNDER ROSÉ “T”, TESCH trocken
“Shimmering salmon pink in color, the 2023 Rosé is a pure Pinot Noir, directly pressed after three to four hours of maceration. Gentle stewed strawberry on the nose spreads its fruity allure. The palate has a supple creaminess and more of that lovely strawberry vibe. Despite blocked malolactic fermentation, this is far too easy to drink and beautifully mellow. (Bone-dry)” 89 | A. Krebiehl | www.vinous.com“Generous strawberry and raspberry jelly character. Juicy and substantial on the medium-bodied palate, the textural complexity building at the long, structured finish. ” 91 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com
