Germany

Mosel, Germany. 'Generous ripe yet clean notes of fruits (which include yellow peach, pineapple, melon, quince and pear) are nicely balanced out by refined scents of flowers and anise. The wine is delicately creamy on the palate and is underlined by a feeling of richness not unlike that of a Lange GK. Subtle notes of raisin, honeyed dried fruits are wrapped in a delicate touch of cumin, leaving a superb feel of flower honey in the finish. This is a great classy dessert wine with decades of life ahead...'

Mosel, Germany. Loads of texture, light on flavour, touch of sweetness, fine zingy spritz (at first). All adds up to watch this bottle disappear like magic. It’s, of course, wonderfully perfumed with citrus, Asian spice, wet slate character, the palate not too dissimilar but with a squeeze of tart grapefruit juice for good measure. It’s quite rich its fleshiness but keeps this light, lacy appeal. Brilliant drinking...

Mosel, Germany. Bright yellow with green hue. Clean nose with rather restrained fruit and closed character. On the palate well balanced with medium weight and rather good length...

 

Mosel, Germany. Because of the forceful minerality from the abundant blue slate in the soil, wines from Graach have excellent aging potential and will improve in the bottle for many decades...

Mosel, Germany. Shows a lovely purity and flintiness on the deep nose, which displays notes of crushed stones, lemon juice and also ripe fruit pips. Rich, ripe and piquant on the palate, this full-bodied Würzgarten is very mineral, but also has a certain sweetness and juiciness that is almost rounder than round, and results in a big and more opulent Riesling...

 

Mosel, Germany.  This offers a rather elegant feel of herbs and spices, pear and white flowers on the nose. The wine is nicely elegant and vibrant yet well balanced on the palate and leaves a clean feel in the finish. The wine only needs a little bit of time to smoothen its sharp edges and should then prove a lovely expression of Wehlener Sonnenuhr.

Mosel, Germany. Smoky and slaty on the nose, with more complexity than their Würzgarten. Expressive and multi-layered with fine, focused fruit. Finishes with a light smoky scent...

 

The Rheingau, Germany.A nose of musk, pear and citrus, the palate is quite full – perhaps even more so than usual – with lovely spicy nuances and 'new world' balance. Long and fresh, juicy whilst being bone dry...

The Rheingau, Germany.  Super stony and pure on the very deep and intense nose, which displays ripe fruit and refreshing lemon aromas, the 2017 Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Trocken is a full-bodied, powerful wine with melting stones as well as an enormous salinity and structure. It is very grippy, firmly structured, and very long and complex. A great and persistent wine. Lots of finesse and elegance...
