Vintage by vintage, Lukas Reinhardt
gains more stylistic confidence and authority
– which could easily stand as a
neat summary of the impressions we formed
when tasting his wines. If these were a little
over-ambitious in the past, the young winemaker
by now shows a great combination of ambition
and laissez-faire, knowing when to use
what. Apart from his Rieslings from the 2018
and 2019 vintages, all of which show real site
character; we also like the firm, barrel-matured
Weissburgunder. His 2016 Spätburgunder from
the Ruppertsberger Nussbien site has evolved
really well. Something clearly is happening here!
92 2018 Deidesheim Herrgottsacker
Riesling trocken
Deep yellow with a concentrated nose showing ripe peach,
hints of exotic fruit, papaya and passion fruit. Powerful and
tightly built with good concentration, generous in extract
and volume, the ripe acidity underlines this character. Will
evolve. 12 Vol.-%. cork, €€
with a sensitive acidity in a compact, clear structure. Elegant
fruit, raspberry and sour cherry, the tannins are polished.
Shows substance and finesse. 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€€
90 2016 »Blanc et Noir« brut nature
91 2018 Ruppertsberg Reiterpfad Riesling tr.
Apple and citrus fruit on the nose, ripe stone fruit and spice,
baked apple. Juicy and supple on the palate with subtle
spice. Medium bodied, the volume is well filled out, it has
enough tension to take the finish into elegance.
12,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€
91 2018 Deidesheim Nonnenstück
Weissburgunder trocken
Lean, dry Pinot Blanc that shows refreshing restraint. On the
nose, wood spice with white peach and blossom. On the palate
the use of wood provides firm structure. Still young, a little
bottle age is all that is needed for full integration.
12,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€€
91 2016 Ruppertsberg Nussbien
Spätburgunder trocken
Cherry and chocolate coated cherry in Kirsch on the nose -
mocha, fine wood and herbs. Well balanced on the palate
90 2019 Deidesheim Riesling trocken
Apricot and hints of mint on the nose, also tangerine and
nectarine - leafiness. On the palate there’s ripe fruit with a
nice freshness that is light and compactly built; juicy and
with a minerality that shows the terroir of the Mittelhaardt.
12 Vol.-%, screwcap, €€
