“This youthful dry riesling has a joyful lemon character, but also complex garden herb aromas. A compact structure is married to a medium body and crisp, stony acidity. Still quite tightly wound for a site that tends to give wines that open quite early. Excellent tension in the very long, lemony finish. Drink from release. ”

\u201cThe 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. Drink or hold.\u201d

The intensely yellow-colored 2023 Riesling Trocken Laubenheimer Krone opens with fine and elegant, perfectly ripe and concentrated (baby pineapple) fruit that intertwines with sur lie notes and finely spicy terroir aromas that include some lovely herbal nuances. It is a very smart Riesling from lighter loam soils topped by weathered red sandstone. Round and lush on the refined and crystalline palate, the Krone starts like a typical 2023 with unscrupulous fruit expression, but then it turns toward a somewhat austere and phenolic finish. It is less generous in the end than expected from the nose and first palate, and although it has a concentrated and juicy fruit core, the phenols take over on the finish and leave the palate a little drier than necessary. Is that due to a (too) early harvest or because of maceration? Or is it the use of oak? 12.5% stated alcohol. Stelvin screw cap. Tasted in September 2024.\u201c

\u201cThe Krone is not quite as ripe and shows a bit better balance and rounder acidity than the preceding wines. There\u2019s some chalk here in the nose and mouth to go with lemon-based fruit. This might be a wine to drink a bit younger than the other single vineyard wines. Screw cap closure. 12.5% stated alcohol.\u201d

“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)”

\u201cFull screwcapped bottle just 1,162 g. Next to L\u00f6hrer 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.\u201c

The 2020 Riesling Krone opens with classic Tesch nose: very clear, precise and elegant, with fine but not exuberant citrus fruit and Golden Delicious apple aromas over a fine mineral background. Pure, piquant and immediately salty on the palate, this is a stringent and finely racy Krone with grip, tension and noble bitters on the finish. Possibly one of the most “Tesch” Rieslings of the 2020 single-vineyard collection. The finish is long, pure, dense and stimulating. Excellent. 12.5% alcohol.

Very crisp, dry and lemony, this medium-bodied dry riesling has tons of lemon-zest and ripe-apple character. Very crisp with a slightly austere, mineral finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The vineyard here is adjacent to the L\u00f6hrer Berg and has loess and limestone soils. Because the vineyard is not close to the forest, there\u2019s not a lot of water here and yields are low. Martin said that he took grapes off the vines where there was a lot of hydric stress, and so the yields here were low. The wine has a pure, floral Riesling nose. The mouth is complex and richer than the L\u00f6hrer Berg, multifaceted, sumptuous, and with power and elegance to its green and yellow apple fruit.

Really quite rich on the nose with apparently softer acidity than some other bottlings. Already broad and quite charming but with enough texture on the finish to keep it interesting.

Tesch’s 2019 Riesling Krone combines ripe and elegant Riesling aromas with the refreshing and iron-scented purity of the weathered red sandstone soils of the Laubenheimer Krone. Elegant and piquant on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied and pretty round but racy dry Riesling with a fine mineral grip on the tight yet fruity-aromatic finish. The 2019 Krone is substantial and should be a beauty in 6-10 years. Tasted as a sample in May and again as a bottled wine in June 2020.

No question, positive thinking is good, but that makes so much more sense when you have a joyful and expressive wine like this (50 shades of lemon!) in the glass. Juicy yet delicate flavors keep you hanging on in there. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Spicy nose with real attack. Refined and interesting. These wines certainly make the case for single-vineyard bottlings. Crunchy, with green-apple fruit and nice grainy texture on the finish. Bravo!

“The terroir of the Krone [weathered red sandstone and light loam soils] suffered from the drought in 2018, and it wasn’t easy to find the right fruit to produce the wine we want,” says Martin Tesch. Given this reality, his citrus-yellow colored 2018 (Laubenheimer) Krone Riesling Trocken is a remarkable success. The wine shows a pure and flinty, dusty-mineral nose as well as fresh and lemon-scented fruit with good ripeness and concentration. Rich and juicy but elegant and still refreshing on the palate, this is a tightly woven dry Riesling with power, structure and good tension. The mineral freshness and purity are really enormous here. Tasted from AP 11 19 in August 2019. | Drinking Date 2020-2033.

A loess and sandstone south-east-facing slope exposed to considerable wind. Martin Tesch describes the wine as having ‘a somewhat edgy disposition’ in his glamorous tasting booklet but actually on the nose it smells particularly settled. Beautifully balanced ripe Riesling fruit on the nose and almost exhibitionistically fruity on the palate. There is certainly structure here. Lots to chew on the end in fact, so perhaps wait awhile before broaching this particularly persistent wine. 12.5% | Drink 2020 \u2013 2027.

From weathered red sandstone and light loam soils, the intensely yellow-colored 2017 (Laubenheimer) Krone Riesling Trocken is deep, ripe and complex on the flinty, refreshing, bright, mineral and citrus-scented nose. Some herbal aromas complete the bouquet of this expressive dry Riesling. Lush, round and intense on the palate, with a linear and finessed, nervy-mineral course on the palate, this is a tight and complex, salty and sustainable dry Riesling with a long and tensioned, crystalline and elegant finish. Still young and compact but sustainable and promising. An excellent effort. Tasted at the domain in July and at home in August 2019 (AP 07 18). | Drinking Date 2022-2040

The golden Crown vineyard is on a steep slope facing south east with a mixture of decalcified loess and weathered sandstone. Wide diurnal temperature variation due to night-time westerlies. Lighter nose than the L\u00f6hrer Berg. Lifted and elegant \u2013 sort of reminds me of the character of Chassagne\u2019s Caillerets. Then a strong lemon, almost lemon syrup, finish. Warm and rich on the finish. This one builds towards the end. Drink: 2018-2024.

From a steep southeast-facing slope with a mix of soils from loess to weathered sandstone and cool temperatures at night, the 2016 Nahe Riesling Laubenheimer Krone Trocken has a super clear and aromatic nose of ripe seed fruits (yellow-skinned apples) and citrus fruits with a discreet mineral background. The medium to full-bodied wine is juicy, round and fresh on the palate, provided with fine tannins and a piquant, pretty mineral and tightly woven finish.
