2025 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
“The 2025 Riesling Langenlonsheim Löhrer Berg comes from heavier soils, giving this a little more slack and generosity. Juicy roundness and smooth flow are countered by citric zestiness. Ripeness is evident with just a little heat on the clean-cut finish.”

2024 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
“For this site, an unusually structured wine that’s very focused and straight. It shows typical ripe lime and white flower aromas. The mid-palate has lovely creaminess that deftly integrates the bright acidity. Long, harmonious finish with lovely delicacy. Drink from release. ”

“The 2024 Löhrer Berg Langenlonsheim Riesling Trocken is deep, intense and complex on the citric and substantial, earthy nose. Full-bodied, round and elegant on the palate, this is a luscious, mouth-filling, textured and persistently structured, savory and saline-finishing Riesling with fine tannins and a long aftertaste. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in July 2025.”

“The 2024 Riesling Langenlonsheimer Löhrer Berg is from heavy loam soils. It’s brimming with juiciness on the nose, with notes of peach, Mirabelle plum, nectarine and melon. This is beautifully concentrated on the palate, with a touch of lime on the slender, strait-laced body. The 2024 is full of charm. (Bone-dry) Drinking Window: 2025 – 2040.”

2023 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
“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. Drink or hold.”

“The 2023 Riesling Trocken Langenlonsheimer Löhrer Berg is clear, intense and elegant on the beautifully aromatic yet also fine and spicy/mineral nose that intermingles ripe apricot aromas with fundamental saline notes and floral/herbal nuances that add a coolish touch to the perfectly ripe and well-articulated fruit. Lush and charming on the palate, this is a textured and well-balanced Riesling from loamy-gravelly soils that guarantee ripe and finely juicy fruit provided with fine, mineral acidity and serious phenol grip. This 2023 should have excellent aging potential, and although it’s already mouthfilling, I’d keep enough bottles to see what happens over the next two or three decades. The aftertaste is generously aromatic but also intense and characterized by the firm structure of this full-bodied wine. 13% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in September 2024.”

“Lime blossom nose. Medium-light body, pure lime fruit, elegant, strong malic acidity. Screw cap closure. 13.0% stated alcohol.”
93 | Fine Wine Review | C. Kolm
“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)”

“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.”

2022 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
“The 2022 Löhrer Berg Langenlonsheimer Riesling trocken is from loamy-gravelly soils and opens with refreshing and greenish fruit aromas reminiscent of limes and lemons but also white fruits. On the palate, this is a medium-bodied, vital and quite rich dry Riesling with a complex, savory, well-structured and persistent finish. The wine is still tight but tensioned and linear. It drinks like a cool-climate Riesling, and it’s hard to believe it experienced an extremely dry and hot summer. Maybe its body and intensity give a hint, but on the other hand, the 2022 has just 12% stated alcohol. Stelvin screw cap. Tasted in October 2023.”

“The Löhrer Berg has spiced apple components in the nose and mouth. The wine is medium-weight and round with a decent acidic attack. Screw cap closure. 12.0% stated alcohol.”

“Super-cool and super-crisp, but on the sleek palate this is very polished and the finish glides off into the distance. Then comes a touch of wild blackberries at the very cool and straight finish. Drink or hold.”
93 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com
“Full screwcapped bottle, with it’s lime-coloured label, just 1,160 g. Grown on gravelly loam. 40-year-old vines. Very light nose at this early stage in its development but a fine, indeed earthy, textured palate. Still very youthful and I’d hang on a few months ideally before starting to drink it. Fresh and vital. Drink 2024 – 2028 ”

2021 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
“The 2021 Riesling Löhrer Berg is still discreet on the nose but clear, bright and fresh, with notes of crushed stones and lemons highlighting the ripe apple and lemon aromas. Round and lush on the palate, this is a dense, ripe, textured, mouthfilling Riesling with still-young phenolic bitters on the finish. This is a surprisingly rich and powerful but still elegant and refreshing Löhrer Berg. 13% stated alcohol.”

“As with previous vintages, this is a rounder, more relaxed wine than the Unplugged, and as such, it will appeal more to some, while others, including me, will prefer the nervier Unplugged, at least while young. The wine features mineral and white flower aromas. The mouth is medium-light with the afore-stated roundness but also with a firm, sensual texture that includes a juicy/chewiness, and minerality. It needs some time to fully open.”
93/A | C. Kolm | TheFineWineReview
“How can you resist? This dry riesling is mouth-filling yet cool and graceful, with a slew of lime and reine-claude plum aromas, plus a touch of fresh sage character. Excellent structure beneath all the ripeness, the mineral acidity accentuating the juiciness at the long finish.”
94 | S. Pigott | www.jamessuckling.com
“Full screwcapped bottle just 1,176 g. Grown on gravelly loam and described by Tesch as ‘smooth and earthy, round’. High acidity suggested by the nose, and a lightly floral, even rosy, note. Chalky dryness on the finish and just a slight hole on the mid palate. Wonderfully refreshing but less complete than some of its stablemates.13% | Drink 2022 – 2026”

2020 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
The 2020 Riesling Löhrer Berg offers a deep yet bright, pure, fresh and substantial nose with leafy and spicy white fruit aromas. Firm and piquant on the palate, this is a dense, round and fruity but grippy and stimulating Löhrer Berg with fine mineral acidity and a dense and quite powerful finish. Impressive. 12.5% alcohol.
92 | ROBERT PARKER – The Wine Advocate – Stephan Reinhardt
This reminds me so much of the lime cordial I drank as a child. So juicy that you don’t need to understand anything about riesling to have a party with this dry wine. Super balance from beginning to end! Drink or hold. Screw cap.
94 | jamessuckling.com – Stuart Pigott
This is the oldest Riesling site in the Nahe. It was planted completely with Riesling at the end of the 17th century. There is a good natural water supply here, and so there is a more relaxed expression than in the Unplugged. Forest and bush aromas here are complex. The mouth is rounder with more body and chewiness than the Unplugged. The wine is mineral with green apple fruit. The finish is long and the wine shows brilliant clarity and precision.
93 | TheFineWineReview – Claude Kolm
Much more complete and satisyfing on the nose than Unplugged. Springs out of the glass with a firm footprint and some of that promised earthiness. Real grainy texture and very good fruit/acid balance.

2019 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
The 2019 Riesling Löhrer Berg is beautifully clear, precise and aromatic on the elegant and seamless nose with its flinty, fresh and white/green rather than yellow-fleshed fruit aromas that intertwine with leafy and vegetal notes of fresh peas. The wine offered notes of red-skinned and mealy apples, for example, but also slightly smoked dates and crushed stones in its early stage yet becomes more and more stony now, with some refreshing phenolic notes. The ripeness level is just perfect, though. The loamy-gravelly soils of the Löhrer Berg give a pure, fresh and frisky Riesling with great elegance and finesse and a persistently salty and grippy-mineral finish. Tasted as a sample in May and then from bottle in early August 2020
92 | ROBERT PARKER – The Wine Advocate – Stephan Reinhardt
The dry-riesling refreshment rocket has lift off! So much energy it almost bowls you over, but there’s not a gram of excess fat on this sleek and toned body. Super clean, long finish. Drink or hold.
93 | JAMESUCKLING.COM – Stuart Pigott
Tight and mineral on the nose. And then very rewarding (because of the extra half-degree of alcohol?) on the palate. Generous and round – perhaps too generous for some palates? Creamy texture and ready already. I’ve had some GGs with less appeal…

2018 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
From loamy-gravelly soils and bottled with 12.5% alcohol in this exceptionally warm vintage, Tesch’s Langenlonsheimer 2018 Löhrer Berg Riesling Trocken (AP 09 19) offers a clear and fresh yet intense nose with citrus and apple aromas intertwined with somewhat reductive (but attractive!) sur lie scents. Lush and round on the palate, this is an intense and elegant, well-structured and slightly tannic yet also juicy and persistent Löhrer Berg whose deep soils were a benefit in dry years such as 2018. The finish is also tight and fresh and reveals nice grip and phenolic structure. Tasted in August 2019. | Drinking Date 2020-2033.
91 | ROBERT PARKER – The Wine Advocate – Stephan Reinhardt
This has a very restrained and chiseled feel with pears and apples, as well as pastry aromas, leading to a smoothly rendered palate that has compact, bright, orchard-fruit flavors.
92 Points | JAMES SUCKLING
From loam soils with lots of gravel, this wine has just a slight bit of sweetness betrayed by the delicate acidity. It shows red berry and citric fruits and a light, racy body. Last digits of A.P. Nr: 09 19. 12.5% stated alcohol.
90/B+ | THE FINE WINE REVIEW – Claude Kolm
This means empty mountain. 40-year-old vines on this loamy, gravel-rich site that is particularly fertile. Green juicy apple flavours – bring on the Granny Smiths. Such gorgeous fruit in the middle. Juicy indeed. Neither subtle nor restrained, this should provide early fruity pleasure and more grainy-textured delight in years to come. Very well-judged fruit/acid balance. 12.5% | Drink 2019 – 2025.

2017 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
From loamy-gravelly soils in Langenlonsheim and a vineyard that was dedicated exclusively to Riesling 330 years ago, the 2017 Löhrer Berg Riesling Trocken is intense, elegant and sober on the spicy-mineral nose that displays ripe and concentrated fruit intertwined with deep earthy and vegetal notes that add depth and complexity. Lush, round and elegant on the palate, this is a fullbodied, dense and juicy dry Riesling with good grip, structure and length. Although the wine shows a certain maturity on the finish, especially compared to 2018, it is still young and needs another year or two to open up. However, it’s a seriously good Riesling bottled with 12.5% alcohol. Bottled under screwcap. Tasted two times in July and August 2019 (AP 05 18). | Drinking Date 2022 -2035.

A bone-dry riesling that already gives pleasure, thanks to the generous limes and apples and the polish on the medium-bodied palate. Long finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
92 | JAMESUCKLING.COM – Stuart Pigott
One of the Nahe’s oldest vineyards, home to Riesling since 1688. Fertile gravelly loam. 40 year-old vines. Real race and depth on the nose. It’s immediately apparent that this is a step up from Unplugged. A note of white pepper and real breadth on the palate. The extract compensates for the high acidity. More broachable than the Unplugged. Lime crystals (and that’s not just because the label is lime green, I swear). Drink: 2018-2022.

2016 Löhrer Berg Riesling trocken
From vines over 40 years old, the 2016 Nahe Riesling Löhrer Berg Trocken (sample) opens very clear, fine and precise on the nose, representing ripe white fruit aromas along with some earthy and vegetal notes of legumes. Really stimulating! Dense, round and aromatic on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, well-structured, juicy and elegant Riesling with a pure, mineral finish and lingering salinity. This is an excellent representative of the gravelly clay soils of the Löhrer Berg in Langenlonsheim, one of the oldest Riesling vineyards in the Nahe valley. Tasted January 2018.
91 | ROBERT PARKER – The Wine Advocate – Stephan Reinhardt
I love the way this has a lime zest character of almost flourescent intensity, but the wine is juicy rather than tart, thanks to the ripe and tantalizing acidity. Just beginning to give its best and should be a very flexible food wine from 2018. Screw cap.
91 | JAMESUCKLING.COM – Stuart Pigott
Forty-year-old vines on gravelly loam at a relatively high elevation. Deep straw colour. Really broad earthy notes on the nose – very satisfying already. Round and juicy with a certain stoniness but mainly breadth and undertow. Very successful. Already a satsifying, well-balanced drink.
