Wine Advocate

Score: 88

The golden-yellow colored 1989 Ried Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel is clear, pure, fresh and intense on the aromatic yet also slightly flinty nose that reveals ripe and sun-tinted stone fruit aromas. On the palate, this is a light, fresh and matured Riesling that reached its peak a while ago and won’t become any better from here. Structurally rather weak, it has stimulating salinity and fine grip yet no power or intensity. It’s a respectable Riesling to be enjoyed with lighter dishes, preferably freshwater fish or lighter yellow curries. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Archive Release 2024. Tasted in January 2025.
