Riesling Wine

Rheingau Riesling Kabinett Schloss Schonborn 2018

A very pale, watery-lemon colour. Pure and crystalline aromas of green citrus and apple blossom. The off-dry palate has supple pear and apple fruit, a core of lemony acidity sustaining it through to a focused finish.

A mouth-watering match for fresh seafood and fish dishes, leaving the palate refreshed with mineral complexity, this delicious dry Riesling comes from the renowned Eden Valley.

The Marcobrunn site produces full-bodied wines which somehow lose their weight on tasting, giving way to a fresh, upbeat style. A combination of tropical, citrus and orchard fruits dance across the palate , their ripeness complemented by bright acidity – beautifully balanced

From the left bank of the Mosel, this exudes soft-shelled loveliness and clipped lemony precision. 2018's warmth translates into ripe, ample apricot fruit.

Thanisch Estate Riesling Kabinett Weingut Dr H Thanisch (Thanisch) 2020

Soft-shelled Mosel loveliness and clipped lemony precision, opening onto ample apricot fruit. This will mellow and meld with age but frankly, why wait when it’s this good now?!

Something of a “no-brainer”, pure Riesling fruit and elegance in a glass. This Takes a very much “come hither” stance, with an evocative nose, bristling with freshness. Shades of honeyed peach dominate the nose and palate which reveal hints of spice, herbs and stony minerals. Mellow and refined, this is low in alcohol and high on impact – a delight

Pale gold in colour, this shows some texture in the glass. The nose expresses honeyed orchard fruit and flowers, very pretty end enticing. The palate provides an attractive mineral component, underpinning melon and stone fruit notes, zesty and focused

This has a spicy, stony-mineral nose, opening onto a similarly chiselled palate, which slowly reveals quince, tea-leaf spice and yellow flowers. The back-palate is very delicate, with an impressive weight of fruit and extract behind. Hedonists might prefer the straightforward Kabinett, those who appreciate fine bone structure should go for this. It really is a matter of taste. Both are good food wines

An honest, accessible, articulate translation of Riesling. Consumers have become a little puritanical in our approach to ripeness but sometimes, that little extra fruit accentuates and releases the minerality so that feinherb – “off-dry” achieves a lovely balance and a better reflection of fresh acidity. Here we have a plethora of orchard and exotic fruit, apples, pears and melon complemented by delightful floral notes –lovely definition and focus.

Alte reben means old vines (circa 40 years old). A slaty mineral nose leads into an upbeat, lively palate combining just enough rounded flesh with well-defined, crisp acidity.
