Steely, lime, peach, mineral, rounded, feminine exotic fruits and floral. Jancis "lively and still quite full, viscous... overlay of spicy minerality"

Lovely ripe lime and slate nose, classic balance of sweetness and steely acidity, lifting, intense and astonishing value.

Parker 94+ "75-year-old vines... super intense and herbal on the refined and flinty nose, with notes of curry plant intertwined with aromas of perfectly ripe mirabelle and crunchy slate. On the palate, this is an intense, dense, powerful, fleshy, lush, well-structured and persistently salty Riesling with firm but fine tannins and crystalline acidity. This is a great and generous Riesling from grafted vines trained on single poles... will age for at least three decades"

Parker 93 "From very old, ungrafted vines... very fine, clear and intense bouquet with delicate stony and slate-like flavours... super focused and elegant Kabinett with very elegant apricot aromas. Intense, fine, elegant and lush on the palate, this is remarkably good Sonnenuhr in perfect harmony. The finish is so lovely, salty and stimulatingly round and full of finesse. A great Riesling! Highly recommended." IN A MAGNUM!!!

Parker "opens with deep and intense fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, round and mouthfillingly juicy, this is a generous, well-structured and mineral Kabinett with dark, ripe stone fruit, good tannins and an aromatic finish... very juicy and almost lush on the palate."

Parker 94-96 "deep and flinty bouquet, this is a lush, elegant, highly refined and stimulating Spaetlese with a salty-piquant finish."

Parker 96 "picked on December 5th in incredibly healthy conditions, with just a bit of over-ripeness and botrytis (which is extremely rare, says Constantin Richter). The wine opens with clear, piquant, fresh and concentrated fruit on the nose. Clear and very delicate on the palate, this is a lush, highly finessed and well-balanced Eiswein with very fine and crystalline acidity, mineral grip and tension... remarkably clear and lush but still finessed, precise, lean and elegant—in short, a beautiful Eiswein."

From the Josephsof vineyard, one of best and most historic vineyards in the cool-climate of the Saar valley, this Spätlese Riesling is known for its subtlety and delicacy. Grapes ripen slowly given the microclimate and are usually picked as late as November. This gives the wine elegance and finesse, and often a touch of Noble Rot adds another dimension. Deep ripe sweet citrus fruit flavours against lovely light sweetness, exquisite acidity and great length.

Weissburgunder is the German name for the Pinot Blanc grape variety and is enjoying a rennaissance. Not much planted in the Mosel valley so this one from Richter is a rarity. Fine notes of pear, gooseberry, some hay and classic slate minerals. Slim and elegant!

Great wine! Great everything! Some residual sugar, but everything else is perfect! Long finish, balanced, nectarine, petrol. Just a super wine especially considering the price.

Beautiful aromas and bright citrus on this perfectly aged off dry Mosel Riesling. Flint, citrus, white flowers, melon and light light petrol. Medium - acidity, low alcohol, long finish.

Impossibly ancient family grower, great vintage, epic vineyard. Clear, cool, joyous. 2019 the long hot summer of joy for Mosel Riesling. Indeed Jancis Robinson poses the question: Germany's breakthrough vintage?

In such a hot vintage such a spaetlese is of Auslese intensity. Impossibly succulent, like an over-ripe pear, with mint and mineral notes, cool and bright with tight lime acidity. My personal fave vineyard for Pauly wines when young. Impossible ancient family grower, exceptional best-in-a-generation vintage. 2019 the long hot summer of joy for Mosel Riesling. Indeed Jancis Robinson poses the question: Germany's breakthrough vintage?

Mosel Eiswein becomes rarer as the climate warms. What a joy - lashings of richness and plump zesty ripe citrus fruit. Amazing value. Impossible ancient family grower

An ancient former monastic wine estate on the famous Maximin Grünhaus hill in the Ruwer, where wine has been made for 2000 years or so. Three of the region’s top vineyards, for which von Schubert are world-famous, sit on this hill: Herrenberg; Bruderberg; Abstberg. Von Schubert's wines are taut, mineral, deft and delightful - perfect classics of their style.

The grapes for the Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett off-dry still come from Riesling vines that were planted in the 1930s in the original sector of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The grapes were harvested by hand at the end of September at an honest 82° degrees Oechsel and then fermented spontaneously in the old Mosel Fuderfass traditionally. The nearly century-old vines give the Kabinett an exceptionally intense bouquet of bright flowers, lime zest, apricot, vineyard peach and wet slate. Cool and transparent on the palate with precise acid structure, yellow fruit and a nice tart touch. The fruity sweetness is rather restrained and comes across as lean and animating. The mineral flicker from the blue slate of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr unfolds elegantly and full of character to the seemingly endless finish. Clearly shows origin - This is Sonnenuhr one hundred percent!

The Schlossgut Diel vineyards, castle and winery are of great historical significance. The winery was purchased by the Diel family in 1802 from Baron Dalberg, who had managed to prevent its confiscation by Napoleon’s troops in 1789. Today the winery is owned by prominent gourmand and wine aficionado Armin Diel, well regarded for his work to promote German wine, and whose daughter Caroline is now winemaker and proprietor. Diel’s offerings are a study in both terroir and differences in intensity achieved at various levels of ripeness. Diel is one of few who still vinifies each Grosses Gewächs site at each Pradikät. Located in the lower Nahe on a steep south-facing slope, the 3 vineyards Goldloch, Burgberg and Pittermännchen comprise Diel’s esteemed holdings and were documented as early as 1901 as producing wines of exceptional quality.

Half-bottle A family with an almost thousand-year history in the Middle Mosel, and they own a good chunk of the prime Wehlener Sonnenuhr too. World-class, globally-revered wine of impeccable class. Highly sought-after, always on strict worldwide allocation.

Dry-ish Auslese is a real specialism for this superb, mother-and-daughter estate, especially in the rare cases when they release some mature stock - what a treat! So hard to describe as it doesn't conform to classic Mosel idiom. Firstly it's the most amazing pale green, more silver than gold. The nose teases with all manner of unexpected notes, from sage to fennel, lilies and blossom (in a 30-year old wine, how, how?) and a palate of equally unexpected complexity, where perhaps more of the Mosel notes are apparent: ripe lime, slate, mint. The texture is feather-light, the length astonishing. Rather madly, it's just as good after a week open. Like a wine from another world.

Pale, deft and zesty and enticing. A Perfect example of Mid-Mosel dry Riesling - delicate white peach fruit, cool slate mineral. Top, ancient grower, all estate fruit.

My personal fave vineyard for Pauly wines when young. Slate flavours wonderfully evident behind the white peach and ripe-lime beauty of this poised treat. Impossible ancient family grower, exceptional best-in-a-generation vintage. 2019 the long hot summer of joy for Mosel Riesling.

One of the Mosel's top vineyards (literally - Heaven's Kingdom, it's high!). Plump juicy white fruit, all the stony mineral and blossom notes are in place.

This is a superb Kabinett. It has that slide flinty, reductive edge, and huge energy here with a sense of translucence somehow coming through over the divine fruits. t has incredible length, with a pinch of salt to finish. Refreshing, mouthwatering, succulent juice, just as a good Kabinett should be!
