“This has the more creamy richness of an Alsace Riesling (compared with most German Rieslings, generalisation alert), more creamy than stony/mineral notes, and it is already showing some evolution and thus aromatic complexity along with the citrus-lime fruit. A touch of kerosene-like tertiary flavour. This has the texture that makes it slightly chewy and mouth-filling, and has the fruit intensity for a really substantial wine. Very deep and very long.”

“Aromatic cherry blossom and smoke notes waft from the glass of this round, creamy and medium-bodied white, while soft citrus peel acidity enlivens the flavors of poached pear, candied almond, vanilla and honeycomb. Drink now through 2024.”

“A bright, light-bodied white, with a pleasing, creamy range of baked pear and yellow apple fruit and preserved lemon and honeycomb flavors underscored by hints of smoke and stone. Clean-cut, lingering finish. Drink now through 2026.”

“Racy, ricey and rich in yellow fruit, from apple to plum to lemon, this is a clean, linear riesling with talc-like minerality keeping it tightly focused. It’s youthful and needs bottle age to develop its breadth of flavor.”

“The pale rose scents of this gewurztraminer are floral and light, while its pear-skin flavors carry some gentle tannins, keeping it structured and vibrant. It’s a wine to take on pork belly in choucroute.”
