Schloss Vollrads CASTLE LABEL Riesling Rheingau
Description: The Castle Label Riesling is fragrant with good weight and balance, its roundness on the palate helped by the fact that part of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine has stunning floral aromas with hints of pineapple on the palate, great length and balance and a weight that derives from the fruit rather than sugar. With nearly 800 years of viticulture experience, Schloss Vollrads is one of the oldest wine estates, not only in Germany, but probably in the world. Situated in the heart of the Rheingau, the estate’s 60 hectares of vineyards are planted exclusively with Riesling. The quality of the Schloss Vollrads wines is the culmination of the work done by Rowald Hepp since 1997. They have pristine Riesling flavours, unmarred by the addition of suss-reserve, stunning perfumes, great length, balance and a weight that derives from the natural ripeness of the fruit rather than sugar. The wine is sealed with Vinolok, a glass stopper that is, according to winemaker Rowald Hepp, every bit as good as Stelvin, especially for aromatic varieties like Riesling. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £112.78

Paul Cluver Riesling Elgin RSA
Description: South Easterly winds often blow cool moist air and many times rain into the Elgin/Grabouw valley. This cool moist weather results into the development of botrytis. Every year we have some botrytis in the Riesling vineyard. This not only allows us to make some great dessert wine, but also adds complexity to our Riesling. This wine shows typical varietal flavours, lots of spice and floral tones is very austere and has the typical Riesling nervousness. The palate is elegant and rich with a long lingering after taste carried by the great acidity of the wine, typical for the varietal. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £52.03
