An old-style German Riesling that fairly sings on the palate. Pale straw with a lime tint; minerally, floral nose of limes and honey; light and elegant on the palate. Off-dry and beautifully balanced with lively honey and raisin flavours.
Great value here. Pale straw colour with a minerally nose of honey and citrus already developing petrol notes. Off-dry; caramel and grapefruit flavours, beautifully balanced and lingering.
Huxelrebe is a German grape first propagated in 1927 by crossing Chasselas with a Muscat clone, which produced an early-ripening variety. Straw-coloured with a greenish tint, it has a honeyed nose of ripe peaches; it’s rich and unctuous on the palate with a sweet core. Try it with blue cheese or a fruit-based dessert.
Polished pale-pastel yellow with hints of green. A distinct “petrol” smell overlays the pretty fruit-salad aromas like an industrial haze over the lush Mosel Valley. The full body and long finish contradict the pale colour, and your mouth fills with tangerine, baked peaches and apricots. Sturdy with smoked ham, and ethereal with apple pie and melted Gorgonzola. Such value.
At only 7% alcohol, this German Riesling from the Mosel is a wine you can gulp down all in one sitting … and you just might do that, it’s that good. A lime bomb on the nose, with gunflint, grapefruit and white peach aromas. It dances lightly on the palate with a vibrant core of natural acidity. It’s sweet, yes, but not at all unbalanced. Hold for 5 to 10 years to appreciate the emerging petrol notes.
The wine has a bouquet of citrus fruits and minerals with a floral note. It’s light bodied with a spicy, minerally, lime and honey flavour. Beautifully balanced and lingering on the palate. At 7.5% alcohol, you’re ready for a second bottle.
Pale silvery yellow. Medium-intensity nose of rhubarb, lime, apple and pastry dough. Delicious, crowd-pleasing tastes of peaches, apples and lime zest, with tangy acidity; but this is also a pretty sophisticated wine, and, like so much German Riesling these days, great value. Lovely now, but 2 or 3 more years won’t hurt.
