Walt Riesling
Walter S. Siegel established himself as a vineyard owner in 1897. It wasn’t until 1937 that the Siegel wines were known in the UK, when his son Hans formed an unusual alliance with English cricketer Ian Peebles. Hans honoured his father by naming this wine after him. And, so, the Walt Riesling was born.
With roots as a wine made by the nuns of the area, this medium-bodied Riesling now has lovely flavours of peach and stone, with a hint of apricot. Perfect with spicy, Thai dishes.

One of the most popular grape varieties in Germany, this riesling has fine fruit flavours of peach, apricot and other stone fruits with typical aromatics of the variety. Great to drink by itself or try with some hearty traditional meals from the Pfalz area such as Sauerkraut and German sausage dishes.
Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rosé
The Pfalz is a very warm and sunny region, often called “the Tuscany of Germany,” so Pinot varieties do well here. The Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rosé is light and refreshing, with deliciously bright berry and fruit flavors and a clean, zippy finish.

Pinot Noir has a long history in the Pfalz region, where it is known as Spätburgunder. This is full of bright black cherry flavours with a little hint of spice and firm acidity. Ripe fruit is complemented with a smoky depth and earthy tannins from twelve months oak ageing. An excellent wine that’s great for everday dining – one that everyone likes!

Quite fragrant aromas with a hint of honey and then refreshing on the palate with juicy pears, apricots and limes. Balanced by wonderful acidity and intense minerality, this is a classic, slightly off dry Riesling from the Mosel region.
We love to pair this with seafood Thai dishes that have a little spice, like a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

A fantastic entry level Pinot Noir that shows off the pure varietal character of strawberry and cherry flavours. Some smokiness and spice from some time in new oak, which also adds complexity. A really good alternative to a red Burgundy!
Gunderloch Riesling QBA
The winery was founded in 1890 by Carl Gunderloch, a banker who campaigned for quality-oriented viticulture. A passion for fine wine as well as a family focus on the Riesling variety sees Carl’s great great grandson, Johannes taking the reins.
This is the flagship wine of the estate that has pure fruit with typical flavours of apple with good grapefruit acidity and a long mineral finish showcasing the ‘Red Slate’ vineyards. Slightly off-dry, this is a great riesling to drink everyday on its own or with a rich gratin dish like Tartiflette.

An intense, ultra-concentrated dessert wine made from hand-selected grapes that have been shrivelled about halfway to raisins by botrytis (the “Noble Rot”). Early arriving botrytis in this year – 2017 – means this is a bright, refreshing style of dessert wine with green apple, white peach and lemon flavours. It’s rich and intense with superb racy acidity. This will age for another couple of years, best drunk from now until 2025.

Gunderloch A Piece of Me – Als Wars ein stuck von mir Riesling
Fantastic balance, lovely mineral character and spice that will develop as it ages but drinking beautifully now.
Dr Loosen Extra Dry Riesling Sekt
A fresh and delightfully fruity Sekt from far western Germany. The Mosel valley’s steep, southfacing slopes create the perfect climate for Riesling, giving the vines ideal exposure to the sun, whilst the cool climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly and retain their natural acidity.
We are huge fans of this wine. Sparkling wine, called “Sekt” in German, has a long history in Germany. A fact that you can see in the many German family names among famous Champagne houses (think Bollinger, Krug and Mumm, for example). Drink something different!
Rudolf Fürst Riesling Pur Mineral
Fermented dry, these wines display elegance and pure minerality. Thus: pur mineral.
Josten & Klein Schiefer Pinot Noir
Josten & Klein is a new winery that offers high-quality white and red wines from the two Rhineland-Palatinate wine-growing regions of Ahr and Mittelrhein.
With around 560 hectares, the Ahr is one of the smallest wine-growing regions in Germany. But that doesn’t detract from its class. As the largest closed red wine growing area in Germany and at the same time as the northernmost area for red vines, it has developed into a wine region of great renown over the past two decades. This is a classic style of Pinot Noir. Ripe flavours of sweet and sour cherry and bramble fruit. Soft tannins and acidity keeps the finish fresh and long.
Fio ‘Piu Piu’ Pet Nat Riesling
Recognisable as Riesling, but with a lovely, fine fizz. Part barrel-aged, but all grapes are from Grand Cru vines. This experimental wine is truly ‘natural’, with no added sulphites and of course unfiltered.
Dönnhoff Höllenpfad Riesling Trocken
Wow! Dry and elegant wine with a very piquant mineral fruitiness and an excellent ageing potential.

A hidden treasure away off the beaten track, the vines are old and surrounded by a protected natural resort in the shade of the Haardt mountains. Strawberry and cherry flavours with good minerality, this is a wonderful, easy drinking red.
Haart Ohligsberg GG Riesling Goldtropfchen
Aromatic and fresh nose of white and yellow fruits, especially pineapple and lemons. The palate is a classic Middle-Mosel Riesling, rich, yet delicate and light.
Rudolf Fürst Centgrafenberg Spätburgunder Grosses Gewachs
A pure and silky wine which could comfortably sit alongside some of the greats from Burgundy. Powerful, yet elegant.
