You know, if you asked me Show me a wine Terry, one single wine that encapsulates why you do what you do, I think I'd reach for this one. You wouldn't find it without looking, and you wouldn't look if all you did was to follow the guides to the perceived-best estates. This astonishing wine is mostly Niederhauser Rosenberg (either a top 1er Cru or a lesser Grand Cru, but certainly aristocracy)with some Kirschheck—this is equivalent to obtaining something called Bourgogne Blanc made from Bienvenue-Batard Montrachet and Meursault Perrieres—and it is a lovely departure from the peachy style that prevailed through 2005; there's more of the flowery sel-gris minerality of the Rosenberg; incredible breed and piquant stylishness, sleek but not sinewy; 3-dimensional spiel of cherry-violet-wisteria-stones; big mid-palate wave of stony length catapults this absurdly beyond its class. SOS: 2 (3-12 years)

green grapes

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

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
