Dry White Wines
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| 2008 Pfalz Riesling Qba Trocken, Weingut Christman |
£14.50 |
| This vineyard's sandstone and chalk soils are the source of one of the top dry
Rieslings of 2008. Subtle and evocative, though full-bodied and powerful, it exhibits a silky
texture that envelops the vanilla, honey, apricot and mineral flavours. Lush in texture, with enough
acidity for balance, it ends on a peppery note. |
Fruity Style White Wines
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| 2008 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett, Max Ferd Richter |
£13.85 |
| Perhaps one of the greatest German vintages ever from the Riesling master, Dr Dirk
Richter. Fantastically intense and very well defined, classically floral and richly
textured with dense concentration on the palate and a long minerally finish. |
|
| 2007 Serriger Schloss Saarstein Riesling Kabinett |
£14.50 |
| This estate lies high above the town of Serrig in the Saar valley and is producing the
most elegant wines of Germany. Floral and fruity, medium dry with crisp balancing acidity and
only 10% vol. This is a perfect summer’s aperitif. |
|
| 2006 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhoferg Riesling Spätlese |
£20.00 |
| Very impressive concentration and minerality for a wine so young. Harvested with
Auslese quality grapes, this wine shows great depth and complexity as well as finesse and
searingly high acidity. It will continue to develop for at least 50 years! |
|
| 2006 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenhur Riesling Kabinett
Max Ferd Richter |
£26.00 |
| The name "Brauneberg" describes the colour of the iron oxide in the slate stone, which gives the flavour and elegant structure of the wines. This is sensational stuff: super sweet with unbelievable concentration, seamlessly held together with ultra-ripe acidity, and a finish measured in days. Whilst delicious now, there’s no hurry to drink it up, it will still be going long after we are all gone! |
