Grosset Springvale Riesling 2023
$55.00A flavoursome release of this stalwart Clare riesling; easy access in youth with a sense of high drinkability, concentration of flavour and crystalline acidity. Scents of frangipani, sweet lime, ozone and green apple with similar flavours and a fine, chalky pucker to texture. There’s a general prettiness, an inviting juiciness, despite the excellent, powdery textural […]

Muller-Catoir Grosses Gewächs Bürgergarten Im Breumel Riesling 2021
$140.00Still extremely youthful, this 2021 Riesling GG is going to take a while to come out of its shell. However, the combination of concentrated citrusy fruit and fresh herb finesse is already very apparent. Bone dry, but beautifully balanced and polished at the very long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. 96 points – […]

Carl Loewen Riesling ‘1896’ 2021
$175.00This is beautiful to drink now, but those things which really make it stand out in the crowd are only just beginning to reveal themselves. With every swirl of the glass the ripe peach and apricot aromas expand until there’s a great cloud of them. Staggering concentration is packed into a rather sleek frame, but […]

Eva Fricke Lorch Krone Riesling Trocken 2022
$265.00Eva believes this needs a Burgundy glass, and now I think about it, all the single vineyard wines would benefit from such a glass. The Krone spends longer on lees than all the other wines. The power of the site is evident as there is still some dry extract and faint peach skin texture, despite […]

Rippon Lolo’s Mature Vine Riesling 2019
$75.00I have never tasted a riesling to match the intensity of Saar, until this encounter with Rippon’s 2019 Lola. We were lucky enough to have the better part of a bottle, which we drank over three days. Never for a moment did the wine loose a skerrick of it’s power or titanic fruit. Aromatic, with […]
