Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2026-2035, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jun 2025

Full bottle 1,335 g. Grown on grey slate with chalk in the subsoil. 70% spontaneous fermentation, 30% selected organic non-GMO yeast blend, all fermented in tank. 11 months on the fine lees. Certified organic (DE-ÖKO-022) and vegan. There's a little more spice and ripeness here compared with the Lorcher (village) Riesling. Deep notes of clementine pith and a light overlay of stony/rocky smokiness. Wow. This has real power allied to mouth-watering – not quite eye-watering –freshness. It's a relatively big wine but beautifully balanced. Immense depth and extremely persistent with a slight saltiness on the finish. Serious not flirtatious. (JH)

The 2023 Krone is deep, intense and crunchy flinty on the complex and iodine-infused nose. Full-bodied, intense and juicy on the palate, this is a highly complex but refined and elegant, concentrated, rich yet balanced as well as tensioned Riesling with ripe and juicy fruit, fine and chalky acidity and a very long, intense and saline finish. This is a spectacular Riesling. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.

The 2023 Riesling Lorcher Krone is from a particular site on a mix of limestone and slate. Peach tones make for a rich nose, revealing a touch of peach candy and an overtone of dried fruit. The palate is more slender and defined than the nose suggests, edged with exquisite grapefruit freshness that holds juicy Reine Claude, greengage and even something tropical. This is a beautiful combination of great length, contour, fill and finesse. (Bone-dry)
