JJ Prum
The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers a sensitive, sublime, complex, exquisite and slightly flinty nose with a coolish and delicate expression of stewed apricots and some greenish berries, whereas the first stony character remains. This irresistible and noble bouquet leads to a round and lush yet refined and savoury palate, with coolish apricot flavours on the long and sustainably salty finish that is firmly structured but elegant and highly stimulating. This is a superb, very elegant and complex, sustainably structured Sonnenuhr. This is a great pleasure to drink, but you can easily keep this Kabinett for over three decades. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Drink 2022-2070 Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate (July 2022)

Rolly Gassmann
Rolly-Gassmann is a domaine like no other and has a unique style. It is located at Rorschwihr, a sleepy village on the northern rim of Haut-Rhin. The vineyards are located in Rorschwihr and the neighbouring Rodern and Bergheim. The wines are small masterpieces with very good definition. They all carry the signature of Rolly-Gassmann, a certain shameless, velvety sweetness. The fruit is rich and manages to balance the fruit with a vibrant acidity to form wines that melt on the palate.

Peter Lehmann
From Liberty Wines, UK agent: Delicate in colour with youthful highlights, and a soft aroma of lime and floral notes combined with toasty characters. The palate shows great fruit purity, with intense lime cordial character mixed with lemon rind and a fresh, crisp, dry finish. This is one of the classic Wigan Rieslings from an exceptional vintage, which will age well. Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards 2022

Von Schubert
Vinous: A lovely nose of fresh apple garlanded in apple blossom and honeysuckle is followed by a silken, delicate, generously juicy palate in which the fruit is adeptly supported by discreet sweetness. The floral perfume continues inner-mouth for a delectably billowing effect, and the lusciously long finish features a sense of transparency to wet stone and tinglingly gingery nuances that were missing from the dry wines of the present collection. 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.

Schloss Lieser
A juicy, approachable, salty-citrus leaning fruit forward mini-GG that sings with easy, crisp clear fruit. Great flavour development and deep length. A lovely acid balance renders this fresh but not crispy. Justerini & Brooks.

Schloss Lieser
An immensely calm and composed Kabinett of crushed minerals and glorious sunny yellow fruits that fans out across the palate in a veritable slick of seamlessly fused fruit and minerals. Lithe and charming but also regal in length - Thomas Haag really showing off the qualities of this noble vineyard. Justerini & Brooks. A cheesy fermentative residue somewhat clouds the nose, but from behind that emerge scents of fresh apple and sea breeze, anticipating the salinity, juiciness and crispness that dominate on a (for a Wehlener) surprisingly firm, lean palate. A garlanding of heliotrope and honeysuckle also runs through this entire performance, which culminates in bright, mouthwatering length. To an especially remarkable extent – though this is basically true of all the vintage 2017 Schloss Lieser Kabinetts – high residual sugar is successfully balanced out by efficacious acidity and extract. This will almost certainly be even finer in the future. Vinous.

Weingut Max Ferd.Richter
For our selection of dry/trocken Rieslings from Single Vineyards we source all single vineyard wines from "Premier Cru" and "Grand Cru" vineyards from old vines. Fermentation is exclusively done in traditonal Fuders (old oak-barrels) where wines are maintained on the lees until bottling. These wines perfectly show the terroir of the given vineyard site. The range starts with the classical Kabinetts, the archetypical wine of the Mosel-Region, showing lightness and freshness with an almost airy elegance. They are generally lower in alcohol and have higher acid levels. The next step up are the "Alte Reben" selections (Old Vines, Vieilles Vignes). These are harvested from the oldest vines of our Crus with at least 75 years of age. They are powerful with richer body and well balanced minerality. On the top of the pyramid you find the GGs (Großes Gewächs/Grand Cru/Grand Vin). These Rieslings are grown in the best and oldest parts of our Grand Cru vineyards. These wines are the perfect combination of deepth, concentration, minerality and utmost precison and elegance. The result is simply mesmerizing. The wine does have a slight bite but above all, it is beautifully airy, packed with intense and remarkably fresh flavors (not an easy task in a vintage with record heat in the summer). This is one of those dry Riesling which home in on the fact that Mosel now produces some of the finest dry Riesling in the whole of Germany.As usual, great wines is rarely produced in gigantic quantities and this is no different with this GG. But, believe us, every effort should be made to lay one’s hands on a few bottles of this divine juice

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht
Pale yellow colour. Expressive Riesling nose typical from limestone origin: citrus, light mineral notes, stony flavours, honey. Vivacious palate, crisp, amazing acidity and freshness. This is a very classic Roche Calcaire that finishes bone dry with a lacy texture. This wine will still need some time to open up and it is highly recommended to decant it in the first years after bottling.

Pauly Bergweiler
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. Impossible ancient family grower, exceptional best-in-a-generation vintage.

Weingut Max Ferd. Richter
This monopole is a southwest-facing vineyard slope of just two acres. The vineyard was planted in 1964, but the first historic record dates back to 30th April 1245! The vineyard was dedicated by the Count of Veldenz to the nearby convent from which it took its name “Helenenkloster” (St. Helene’s convent.) It offers a rather aromatic nose made of vineyard peach, apricot blossom and fine spicy elements. The wine is subtly creamy yet also beautifully light-footed on the palate and leaves a direct feel of herbs, fruits and spices in the animating and persistent finish. Flavours of apricot add a touch of weight to the aftertaste.

Robert Oatley
Western Australia's Great Southern region is currently the hottest Australian region for Riesling. Wines of utmost purity, precision and freshness are emanating from vineyards just like those at the disposal of Robert Oatley's winemaker Larry Cherubino. Vibrant notes of citrus zest, slate and lively minerals all come together to produce a wine of pure distinction.

Famille Hugel
An unusual, but terrific, blend showing off Alsace's grape varieties in a supergroup line up. The spiciness of Gewurz; the grapiness of Muscat; the body of Pinot Gris; the backbone of Riesling; and the refreshing character of Sylvaner. The resulting wine is fresh and characterful. Aroma and flavours of lemon, tropical fruit and white peaches, floral notes and petroleum. Additional flavours on the palate of pineapple and ground white pepper. Dry medium plus bodied wine. Good length. A super complex wine and fabulous value. Vegan, Biodynamic agriculture

Weingut Max Ferd. Richter
“The winemakers at Richter believe that great wine comes from the vineyard, not the cellar. With this in mind they strive for precision in their daily viticultural work. The challenge of cultivating vines on the steep, slate slopes of Mosel is overcome by fastidious handwork, small crop sizes, all-natural fertilizers and sustainable farming practices. Additionally, all harvesting is done by hand. Vinification starts with gentle pressing and slow temperature controlled fermentation in traditional old oak barrels (fuders). This careful, deliberate process preserves the vineyard-grown quality of the grapes, develops the unique character of the single-vineyard cuvees, and to gives Richter wines exceptional longevity.” “Racy Kabinett driven by mature tartaric acid. Very typical aromatic structure of red berries, as well as nuances of grapefruit and slate stone.” – Winery Max Ferd. Richter
