White Wine

Refreshing off-dry Riesling with 21g/l residual sugar, but plenty of acidity to balance it. Peach and citrus fruitiness with a crunchy green apple finish.

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

Parker 93+ "Picked at 110° Oechsle and with 30% to 35% botrytis... offers dusty raisin and grapefruit aromas on the nose. Lush and concentrated on the palate, it is an elegant, mouth-filling and piquant Auslese with a creamy texture and long, salty-piquant, slatey finish."

Apple cider and overripe peach, decadent peony and heliotrope effusively inform the nose and expansive, buoyant, subtly creamy palate of Tyrell’s 2011 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Riesling Auslese, a glaze of caramel and honey underscoring the influence of botrytis – less happily, responsible for a dearth of primary juiciness – and leading to a sustained and soothing as well as decidedly sweet finish.

"Pink granite soils. Rich and spicy wine. There’s bright florality, then some bitter fruit, pithy citrus, apple skin, kumquat, and quince. Elegant and long with great concentration and wonderfully balanced acidty. Charming and focussed." Tasting at the Domaine, March 2020 (AA)

As the name indicates, all the vineyards are located on the poor granitic soils of the Brand hillside. It is in fact the second wine of the Grand Cru Brand. These precocious and warm granitic soils produce wines that have a vertical structure, always expressive at a young age and never shy on their aromatic potential. Tasted at the Domaine March 2020: "Fruit from Brand Grand Cru. Pretty much a declassified second wine. Soils here are biotype pink granite. This wine comes from seven parcels: two planted 1947-49, three planted in the early 1980s, and two planted about 20yrs ago under biodynamics. New release. It seems like there’s a bit of bottle shock here. It’s rather muted at the moment. There is some fleshier fruit on the palate, and it is absolutely bone dry. Bitter fruits. Pithy. Smoky finish. ." AA

Grand Cru Brand overlooks the village of Turckheim where Dom. Zind-Humbrecht are based. These are special steep granite soils. 2014 was an absolutely phenomenal vintage for Brand. A wine of opulent aromas - white fruit, acacia, and a whiff of smoke. The wine coats the palate, revealing great depth, complexity, and length. Racy and dry on the finish. For keeping.

Refreshing off-dry Riesling with plenty of acidity to balance it. Appealing elderflower and honeydew melon aromas. Peach and citrus fruitiness on the palate with zesty lime sherbet on the finish.

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!

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

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?

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.

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."

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.

17.5 JancisRobinson.com "Although a light herbaceous fragrance still reflects the contribution of natural yeast, an almost exotic expression of fruit and a distinctive mineral aroma take control of the nose. Add a perfectly pitched acidity, tastefully restrained sweetness and an intriguing spicy notion, and you have a Spätlese that fascinates through its complexity. A gentle salty tang on the finish makes the mouth water. "

Gneiss, weathered primary rock, meagre soil - synonymous for Achleiten. A monumental Riesling from one of the most spectacular white wine terroirs.

The Osterberg Grand Cru dominates Ribeauvillé, the cillage next to Hunawihr. This marl-limestone and sandstone hillside favours Riesling. Discreet on the nose, it releases mineral notes with aeration, then fresh scents of elderflower and citrus fruits, lime in the lead. On the palate, it is lively and long, lemony and slightly salty. A racy wine, full of finesse. (Residual sugars: 6 g / l.)

The palate is long, ample and very fresh. It is a dry and very aromatic Riesling, with a significant persistence. Lemon and grapefruit dominate, and like the nose, a minerality begins to appear. A beautiful wine in the making that will go perfectly with a fillet of pike-perch on a bed of sauerkraut.

jancisrobinson.com 17/20 "Spiced citrus and peach. A minerally spice. Creamy but beautifully fresh and better integrated than the Herrenberg, for the moment at least. Lovely balance and length.

92-94 Wine Advocate "dense, cool, very precise and flinty-mineral on the nose, which is still reductive but exciting. Coming from a coolish side valley that was picked at roughly 84° to 85° Oechsle at the end of September, this is a gorgeously lush and mouth-filling Riesling with the mineral piquancy of quartzite soils. There is no aggressive acidity here, there is nice tartaric acidity that makes this a seductive Kabinett you can't resist. This is a fabulous, very long and enchanting Riesling. The wine has slightly more than 50 grams of residual sugar and comes in at 8.5% alcohol."

A classic dry estate Riesling from Olivier Humbrecht. Mineral and taut to start off with, this wine really opens up in the glass. Fresh, floral, peachy, exciting.

Rangen de Thann is one of the most Southerly vineyards of Alsace. Volcanic soils, and vertiginous slopes. This site is so difficult to work it requires that estate to employ four full time staff for just 5.5ha! "Very closed. Smoky, lees-y, saline. The fruit is very reserved right now and lacks some density. There’s texture, tannin, and heat. These vines produce very small, tiny berries giving a greater ratio skin to pulp, hence the sensation of tannin on the palate. This wine is all structure at the moment." Tasted at the Domaine, March 2020 (AA)

Some citrus, pear and white flowers perfumes develop on the nose. The rich aromas continue through the mid-palate. A long lasting wine, with a refreshing finish. Very versatile wine for a range of fish, chicken and salad dishes.
