A fragile beauty that needs some time to give its best, maybe you could even say it is a sleeping beauty. Sleek and lithe with underplayed depth and delicate white peach fruit, this shows best at the long slatey finish that is very fresh, but anything other than tart. Vegan. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. ... More details

The 2022 Riesling Detzemer Maximin Klosterlay was harvested on a steep site of blue slate and fermented in Fuder. Juicy apple, subtle yeast and almost a white miso note play on the nose alongside flinty reduction. Richness seems programmed, and indeed, the palate is concentrated, countered by fine, ripe acidity. There's a texture of mature yet tart and almost salty apple flesh with real body and power. (Dry)

This offers a vibrant bouquet of fruit and floral notes. Rich and well-structured, it presents a harmonious balance that lingers on the palate. The long finish showcases its complexity, making it a delightful choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

Country: Germany

If German wine has had something of a bad reputation in the past, it may well be the fault of the fact that for a long time now, the Germans have simply kept all the best produce to themselves. Visit any town or village in wine producing regions of Germany, and you'll be faced with a stunning array of extremely high quality wines, each matched with local dishes and full of distinct character and flavor. As white wine production makes up for about two-thirds of all Germany's wine industry, this is by far the most visible and widely enjoyed type of wine, but one should not overlook the quality and range of rosé and red wines on offer from this fascinating country. In particular, the Spatburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) are generally of an exceptionally high quality, being full of dark, intense hedgerow fruit flavors and exciting spicy notes with a silky smooth finish.
