2003 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett, Zilliken, Saar

Currently on offer: Summer Wine Sale: White

An excellent vintage for the Rausch vineyard was heralded by the first taste of Zilliken's kabinett. Vibrant lemon and lime aromas here with marked slate and juicy Cox apple. The palate reveals good breadth, with well-defined fruit, firm with a steely note of acidity running throughout. Perceptibly drier than many of the kabinetts this vintage, on account of the lively acidity balancing the sweetness and ripeness of fruit. A simply stunning kabinett.

2003 Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett, Von Schubert, Ruwer

Currently on offer: Summer Wine Sale: White

Many of the kabinetts show unusually ripe, broad fruit characters in this vintage; Herrenberg is no exception. Offering Cox apple and limy citrus fruit on the nose, this shows tauter, more defined fruit than in a normal vintage. Elements of slate and stone lend interest to a focused, well-poised kabinett that builds to a lengthy, positively zesty finish.

2007 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Spätlese, Zilliken, Saar

Standing sentinel above pretty Saarburg, Rausch features high on our list of favourite vineyards. This Spätlese from Zilliken is exquisite, with floral notes, lime-driven citrus and a touch a minerality. On the palate there is a subtle herbaceousness, limey fruit and a touch of pepper. Beautifully balanced, with a long, floral finish.

2006 Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Auslese, Helmut Dönnhoff, Nahe

This is from one of the most celebrated vineyards in the region, where the stony soils retain the warmth and heat of the summer sun well into the evening, allowing for the even ripening of the grapes. Spendidly exotic on the nose, with notes of white flowers and peach, as well as an enlivening touch of citrus and white pepper. On the palate this is ultra-pure, with the richness of the ripe grapes balanced by a taut minerality and zesty acidity. Beautifully elegant and highly attractive.

2006 Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Spätlese, Helmut Dönnhoff, Nahe

Scents of minerals and white peach dominate the perfume of this refined and supremely elegant Riesling. Peach is again in evidence on the palate, together with hints of pineapple and orange zest. Broad, compelling, pure and evocative, this is splendid Spätlese.
