Weingut Mohr took another decisive
step forward with the 2019
vintage: the wines this organically
certified estate made are truly impressive!
Manager and cellar master Jochen Neher presents
squeaky clean, wonderfully balanced
Rieslings that absolutely show their provenance.
His two Grosse Gewächse from the
Krone and Bodental-Steinberg sites are grippy
and pervaded with fine minerality. The profound
Riesling “34” from a 1934-planted parcel
in the Schlossberg site is even more compelling.
If Jochen Neher can maintain this cruising
altitude his third star is well within reach.

90 2019 »Alte Reben« Riesling trocken
Vivid and animating nose with tones of ripe pineapple and
