A wonderful dry (trocken) Riesling from this excellent estate in the Rheinhessen. There's a substantial nectarine-like fullness to this wine which is perfectly balanced with a zesty, smoky minerality. L&S (Nov 2014)

Wine of the Week - Earlier in the summer I tasted Braunewell Riesling trocken 2013 Rheinhessen twice, once blind, and it impressed me both times for its nerve, refreshment value and youth. Like so many 2013s, it has no shortage of acidity, but the concentration of fruit is such that this wine would serve as a great-value introduction to the pleasures of dry German Riesling. It has bright fruit reminiscent of stone fruit – nectarines perhaps – but finishes bone dry. And overall it's the lively acidity that keeps it all together. Like any decent Rheinhessen dry Riesling there is no shortage of body. The alcohol level is 12.1%. Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Sept 2015)
Screwcap. Light and racy. Dry Riesling. Really punchy and new style. Much more pzazz than the puny Sauvignons we’ve been tasting in this line-up. (Blind tasted at Buckingham Palace). Drinking range: 2015 - 2018 Rating: 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Aug 2015)
Weingut Braunewell
François Breiniville fled 17th Century France's Huguenot persecution to settle in Essenheim, just south west of Mainz.
It took until the 1960's for Adam Braunewell to start bottling the wines from his family's vineyards and, today, he helps his children and grandchildren run this excellent estate and tend their flagship vineyards of Blume and Teufelspfad (the Devil's path!)
