Konrad Schlöer...
Konrad Schlör started his winery in 1984 and is one of a handful of producers in the area not selling his grapes to the local co-operative. With yields of not more than 50hl/ha for the whites and 40hl/ha for the reds, he is producing some of the best quality wines in the region. He has around 60% red grapes and 40% white (half of which is Müller-Thurgau) and it is for his reds that he is particularly noted, winning many prizes locally and nationally, but as yet has no international recognition. All fruit is hand picked with severe pruning done beforehand to control the yields. A mixture of French and German oak is used in maturation over a period of 12 to 18 months for the reds, with only new oak being used in his top cuvées.
Müller-Thurgau Kabinett 2005 - 12% abv.
Fresh and spicy off-dry flavours with a fair degree of length on the palate. 84pts.
Silvaner Kabinett Trocken 2005 - 12.5% abv.
Very smooth and easy drinking, but a little bit on the light side. There is also good persistence on the finish. 84pts.
Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) Spätlese Trocken 2005 - 13% abv.
Very much on the dry side but very fresh on the palate. Needs a little time to settle down. Good length. 84pts.

Riesling Spätlese "KS" 2005 - 14% abv.
This is rather weighty but quite steely. There's a bit too much alcohol here to give it any semblance of finesse. 83pts.
Spätburgunder Auslese "im barrique gereift" 2003 - 14.5% abv.
Good, typical, caramelly, German Pinot Noir. 15 months in new oak and still quite tannic, but this should smooth out in time. 88pts.
Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier) Auslese 2003 - 14.5% abv.
Slightly creamy and very smooth on the palate with a touch of sweetness on the finish. This has good balance and has already lost any notion of hard tannins. 90pts.
