Score 97/100 · Drink 2022-2060, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Dec 2022

Werner Schönleber served the 2021 Frühlingsplätzchen GG after the Halenberg, which has never been the case here in 20 years, but knowing Werner's passion for the purity and freshness of this terroir, this makes completely sense. I remember I liked the 2019 Frühlingsplätzchen better than the Halenberg when it was young, and also from the 2021 vintage I adore the purity, brightness and flinty finesse of the Frühlingsplätzchen which is definitely the brighter, uplifted and purer Riesling. The finish is enormously salty and savory and reveals lemon fruit bitters on the aftertaste. This is life from stone, and it has a damn serious, very long and saline finish. Natural cork. 12% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2023-2032, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Sep 2022

Deliciously smoky/mineral first impression but not overpowering the fruit, which is grapefruit-like and pithy. Intensely mouth-watering tension, so taut and fresh and yet incredibly persistent. (JH)

Tremendous floral character marked with candied lemon peel and fresh herbs. Juicy, dry palate with eye-wateringly saline minerality, crunchy white fruits and notable acidity. Between the crisp lime and the dew-strewn meadow herbs, green never looked so good. (PS)
