I wrote last year that the 2009s were the finest wines I have tasted from this estate since the late '90s. While the entry-level offerings here clearly show how difficult 2010 was on the Ruwer, in particular for dry rieslings, the kabinett, spatlese, auslese and upwards were exemplary and rate among the best produced in Germany in the vintage. Happily, Dr. Carl von Schubert and his winemaker Stefan Kraml have put this estate back on the right track without sacrificing its uniquely yeasty, reductive style so that this inimitable label is again a sure bet for those seeking individual wines of true character.
