Wine Expert Note:

The Dönnhoff Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Spätlese is a remarkable wine that showcases the exceptional quality of German Rieslings. This wine hails from the Norheimer Kirschheck vineyard, known for its steep slopes and slate soils, which impart unique characteristics to the grapes. On the nose, this Riesling Spätlese offers enticing aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus, accompanied by delicate floral notes. The palate is equally impressive, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The flavors of stone fruits, such as peach and nectarine, are complemented by zesty citrus undertones, creating a harmonious and refreshing taste experience. The wine's Spätlese designation indicates that the grapes were harvested late, allowing them to develop higher levels of natural sugar. This results in a slightly sweeter wine, but the acidity keeps it well-balanced and prevents it from becoming cloying. With its medium body and a long, lingering finish, the Dönnhoff Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Spätlese is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. It is particularly well-suited for pairing with spicy Asian cuisine, spicy foods, or creamy cheeses. Overall, this Riesling Spätlese from Dönnhoff is a true gem, showcasing the elegance and complexity that German Rieslings are renowned for. Its combination of vibrant fruit flavors, balanced sweetness, and refreshing acidity make it a delightful choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.

Clemens Busch Vom Grauen Schiefer Riesling is grown at 110-150 metres on steep, south-west facing sloped vineyards in Pünderich, on the right bank of the Mosel river. Here the soil is comprised of grey slate or Grauen Schiefer. Grapes are handpicked and gently pressed into old ‘fuder’ oak barrels that contributes textural breadth and mid-palate weigh. The wine ferments slowly with wild yeasts adding complexity and nuance to the wine. After 18 months of full lees contact, the wine is racked and kept on fine lees until bottling two years later. The resulting wine is energetic, showing steely acidity and fine balance with the delicate citrus-led fruit profile.
