Cantina Marangona Lugana 2021
$35.00The first Turbiana I have tasted, wishing I had encountered the varietal years ago. Spring Jasmine, green apple, white peach, nectarine and lemon zest. Subtle textural grip and hints of cream embellish an otherwise linear, mineral palate. Super fresh, pitched perfectly, like a brilliant Soave in that it has the perfect fruit, acidity and flesh […]

Schafer-Frohlich Felseneck Riesling GG 2022
$210.0098 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): “What amazing harmony this Nahe riesling GG has in spite of the vibrancy of its very racy acidity. Amazing spice and smoke in the nose with notes of pomelo and grapefruit on the concentrated and impeccably proportioned palate. Some grapefruit pith bitterness at the finish, but this just adds to […]

Seehof Morstein Riesling Beerenauslese 2017 (375ml)
$90.00It is difficult to describe, in decent terms, my salivation over a wine that is not only fabulous, but in relative terms, a ridiculous bargain.

Carl Loewen Riesling Maximin Herrenberg Auslese Goldcap 2020

Elements of green snake (the lolly!), spearmint, white peach, lime, cumquat and lychee, cut through by passionfruit. Most Goldcaps are more obviously sweet and silken in texture, but the chisel here […]
