Mullineux Straw Wine 2021 (375ml)
$90.00Gosh! this is a tough one to describe as we have not really tasted anything quite like this. Expressive bouquet of lime marmalade, lavender honey, apricot, yellow peach, fig and cherry. Luscious and intense with thrusting acidity and slightly textured. There is a reductive nutty element that balance’s the sweetness of the wine, but there’s […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spätlese 2020
$60.00From the upper storeys ,and therefore cooler, of the Brauneberger Juffer. Fine and tense palate with gorgeous stone and citrus fruits, gardenia and bergamot. Very lively palate, and the fruit is juicy, the structure linear and precise. Great vintage? Pretty close! Coiled perfection. Waters Wine Co

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. Extremely complex, yellow fruits, fresh citrus and preserved citrus. Lucid and creamy, the fruit pillowed if you like by soft, long acidity. Considering this is from Morstein, this is so […]

Miles Mossop Kika Late Harvest 2020 (375ml)
$55.00From the Stellenbosch, a vineyard planted in 1988. All the fruit was handpicked, from botrytised grapes only. Exotic and perfumed. Pineapple, passionfruit, ginger, quince, apricot, honeycomb and clove. This is very delicate, it’s richly flavoured, but not succulent or overtly sweet. The texture is of peach skin, and runs the length of the palate. With […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2021
$145.00“The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a superbly complex and pure fresh nose of candied grapefruit, vineyard peach, verbena, almond cream, smoke, and a hint of cassis. The wine proves superbly honeyed and creamy on the palate, where riper elements of pineapple, honeyed peach, and apricot are wrapped in candied citrusy fruits. The wine […]

Carl Loewen Riesling Ritsch Auslese 2019
$75.00Remarkably complex nose of yellow fruits, mango, starfruit, lime marmalade, peach and pear. Truthfully, this is very hard to describe, due to the level of complexity and detail, but I’ll try! Luscious and piquant, with ripe tropical fruits, cut through with citrus, cherry, honey and a faint dusting of herbs. Refined and detailed, the sweetness […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese 2021
$88.00A great year for connoisseurs who favour cooler racier Ausleses. Indeed the Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr are better suited to savoury dishes over desserts. Bright and clear, with fresh mint, plum, lime, lemon zest and tropical notes. Linear and precise, with great purity and drive. Sleek, with a hint of tempering silk. Needs time. Give […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2021
$160.00“The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is concentrated and fresh on the aromatic nose that is immediately present but also still reductive. Ripe stone fruit aromas intermingle with notes of crushed stones on a deep foundation of aromas from the soil and the fruit of old vines. On the palate, the 2021 is very fine but […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spätlese 2021
$65.00Bright, intense and tingling with tang. Incredible focus of citrus, stone, orchard and tropical fruit. Fresh herbs from the garden, mint, marjoram and tarragon, mingled with jasmine. Incredible depth and power, the flavours layered and being so bright, bordering on hedonistic. Pure, clear, ethereal and elegant, brimming with energy, character and driving power. Remarkable wine, […]

Carl Loewen Riesling Maximin Herrenberg Auslese Goldcap 2020
$100.00As close to perfection as you could possibly hope for. Refined, bracing Auslsen, obviously sweet, but it’s the acidity and the ‘coolness’ that’s astonishing. 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 […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GOLDKAPSEL Museum Release 2011
$330.00Candied, spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prum 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule, with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year’s collection displayed. Here the sense of delicacy is nearly weightless; intriguing and enticing […]

Mullineux Olerasay 3 Straw Wine (375ml)
$250.00Picked with yields around 4 tons per hectare with a balling of 22 at harvest, the concentration and intensity of this wine is clear to see from the word go. The aromatics on opening initially were slightly more boldly fruity with youthful nuances of peaches and dried apricot, marmalade, passion fruit and honey. But with […]

Clemens Busch Marienburg Spatlese Goldcap 2020
$120.00Tons of floral honey, ripe grapefruit and candied ginger make this concentrated and succulent riesling Spätlese really stand out of the crowd in this field. So much candied citrus on the rich yet cool and refined palate. The finish is both lush and very mineral. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. […]
