Olifantsberg Lark Chenin Blanc 2019
$38.00Layered and detailed, mouth filling, yet light on its feet. Chenin Blanc can be many things and most winemakers opt for one style or another, but the Lark from Olifantsberg conjures up a multifaceted expression. Deeper and darker fruited aromatics than the old vine chenin, with white peach, apricot, nectarine, lime, dried herbs and whiffs […]

Hofgut Falkenstein Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2020
$55.00Aromatic, kummel like herbs, kaffir lime, kiwifruit, green apple and damp leaves. Elegant and filigreed, a wine that is very light, and opens up enormously given some time in the glass. Scintillating, racing and bracing. Mineral, zesty and salty. For all it’s lightness, it’s so complex and detailed. The best “light” white wine you could […]

Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett 2021
$38.00Super-bright and vibrant, but with a wide spectrum of aromas from green apple to papaya and pomegranate. The freshness takes your breath away!

Schafer-Frohlich Felsenberg Riesling GG 2021
$160.00Out of Stock
Perhaps the most profoundly primal of the Frohlich GG Rieslings, a real statement of the stony, smokey, mineral, herbal, textural and tonic-esque grip. But aside from drama, there’s prettiness, with seasoning nettles, bergamot and clove. Without floral notes, but with a level of refinement that is unsurpassed by its peers. Citrus peel, preserved lime, grapefruit, […]

Muller-Catoir MC Riesling 2020

Clemens Busch Marienburg Fahrlay Grosses Gewächs 2020
$160.0097 Points – “Smelling this is like looking into a deep abyss, and someone unfamiliar with intensely mineral dry riesling might feel a bit of vertigo. However, these grapefruit, white-tea and wild-herb aromas really excite us. On the sleek palate this is super-focused with a terrific tannin structure that beautifully matches the crystalline quality on […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 25 2020

Direct attack on the palate, very fine and tensile. Terrific poise and power, with a saline note and that spicy grip on the close. Elegant, refreshing style, nothing forced. […]

JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese 2020
$90.00The 2020er Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese is slightly reduced at first but quickly reveals a beautifully refined and floral nose of aniseed herbs, tangerine, mint, smoke, herbs, and almond cream. The wine is nicely playful and light-weighted on the palate, yet it proves nicely complex and long. This is a delightful Spätlese in the making, […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2020
$58.00Straight out of the blocks, what a way to start a wine tasting. Expressive, explosive and intense. Lemon, thyme, vine leaf, white peach and umami. Very narrow in profile, initially, but with a bit of swirling, warmth and time, really opens up and fleshes out. There is a mineral and saline quality, lip-smacking and with […]

Diel Goldloch Riesling Kabinett 2020

Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Riesling Kabinett ‘Feinherb’ 2020
$60.00Intense and full of character with notes of white flowers, stone fruits, citrus, spice, cherry and blackcurrant. Intense and full of presence, but with a lightness of touch.

Eva Fricke Kiedrich Riesling Trocken 2021
$85.00“The raspberry, orange-blossom, jasmine and white-tea character suggests a wine that’s less sweet and structured than this is. Still very youthful, with serious tension between the slightly grainy tannins and crisp acidity and the lush elements of the wine. Long, very bright finish.” 93 points, jamessuckling.com “The Riesling trocken 2021 Kiedrich offers a fine yet […]
