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.

The Villa Wolf Estate has been making wine since the 1800’s with Ernst Loosen from the Dr Loosen winery in Mosel taking over in 1996.  The winery is currently in the process of getting organic certification, 2022 will be the first certified vintage. 

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.

Wild & Wilder were founded by Master of Wine duo Fergal Tynan and Giles Cooke, with Giles also being the winemaker.  The duo work with several growers across various regions to hand craft outstandingly good wines at their Adelaide Hills winery that are seriously well made, bags of fun and extremely drinkable.

The grapes were harvested from Clare Valley vineyards, using only free run juice before fermentation. The wine has been aged on its lees for 2-3 months before bottling to add complexity and depth of flavour. Zingy citrus and subtle elderflower floral notes on the nose and a palate of ripe grapefruit, lime and a mouthwatering freshness on the finish. We absolutely love this wine. If you are a fan of Chenin Blanc, try this…

Pairs well with delicately spiced Asian cuisine, sushi and tempura prawns with chilli sauce. Yum!

Dr Loosen is a family owned winery with over 200 years of history.  Under the leadership of Ernst Loosen, the wines have become the international poster child for German Riesling.  The estate combine historical Grand Cru sites with the heritage of thier ancestors to produce complex wines of world class that express the great qualities from the soil, climate and the grape varieties grown in the region.

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.

The grapes for this wine are grown on red slate soils which is completely unique to Mosel.  This type of soil produces a softer, rounder structure with a distinctive minerality and aromas of red fruits.  Flavours of apples and hints of citrus, with some honeyed spice on the finish.

The dry style of the wine is ideal for classic continental cuisine.

Intense flavours of lime through to white peach and Granny Smith apple. A superb accompaniment to the lighter spectrum of Asian cuisine.

The grapes were grown on the deep gravels of the Waipara Valley, hand selected chilled overnight before being whole bunch pressed. Waipara’s dry mid-autumn during 2010 meant botrytis did not develop in the Riesling vineyards.  As a result we have lime and lemon zest on the nose with a pure acid to finish.

The Donnhof Riesling QbA has a lime-fresh fruit nose and an excellent, rich honeyed flavour and is perfect for current drinking.

The Bernkasteler Lay vineyard is situated around the estate house and directly along the Mosel just outside the village of Bernkastel, the Lay vineyard has somewhat gentler slopes and richer slate soil than the estate’s other vineyards to produce a dense, creamy-textured Kabinett with a typical racey Riesling acidity.

Fermented dry, these wines display elegance and pure minerality. Thus: pur mineral.  

Wow! Dry and elegant wine with a very piquant mineral fruitiness and an excellent ageing potential.

Inviting peach fruit, delicate sweetness with a well balanced acidity.  Powerful, juicy.  Yellow stone fruit and elegant minerality in the aftertaste.
