Tastes of luxury, according to Louise, and I have to agree. Feels luxurious too, with a long, slender frame woven by silken threads. Rich and almost full bodied, poised. Ripe fruit, yellow peach, guava, pawpaw, kiwifruit and cherry. Very fine feel and subtle texture, flecked with spice. Imperious and magnificent. Waters Wine Co
Exotic, rich, pungent nose with truly exciting fruit. Crunchy sensation and really deep flavours. Passion fruit flavours and creamy texture. Electric impact and no shortage of ripe fruit but a long, bone-dry finish. Great stuff. 17/20 – Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
Cuvée Théo Riesling comes exclusively from the monopole Le Clos des Capucins (which takes its name from the Capuchin friars who arrived here in 1619), at the base of the celebrated Schlossberg hill. The Clos is well protected from winds by the surrounding hills and by the walls enclosing it. The soils consist of sand, alluvial pebbles and granitic gravel. Here the low-cropping vines typically offer up a supple and pithy Riesling that’s beautifully accessible young—a reflection of these sandy soils. As per all Weinbach Rieslings, this was whole-cluster pressed, fermented without any yeast additions and matured in very old oak casks for 10 months. Importer’s notes

On the sleek palate this is super-focused with a terrific tannin structure that beautifully matches the crystalline quality on […]
Add to cart Producer: Clemens BuschOne of Australia’s most consistent and best value whites. A great vintage for this wine too. Expressive and concentrated. Lemon, lime, white peach, start jasmine and sculptural acidity. Fleshy fruit, some zest and rind for texture and that Clare Valley zing. Drink over the next 20 years at least.

Add to cart Producer: Pewsey ValeThe 2023 Meadowbank was, and is, one of the best Rieslings ever to come out of Tasmania, so it was a pretty tough act to follow. Yet the 2024 is wonderful; prettier, more floral, with a greater degree of elegance to the force and stature of the 2023. Spring jasmine, citrus blossom, lemon and lime […]
Add to cart Producer: Meadowbank“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 […]
