This has pliancy and cushioning of fruit, with notes of grapefruit and lychee, offset against precise, zippy acidity. Joyful, this offers excellent value
The Badstube is wonderfully open in style, food-friendly, ripe, yet focused – lovely wine

An honest, accessible, articulate translation of Riesling. Consumers have become a little puritanical in our approach to ripeness but sometimes, that little extra fruit accentuates and releases the minerality so that feinherb – “off-dry” achieves a lovely balance and a better reflection of fresh acidity. Here we have a plethora of orchard and exotic fruit, apples, pears and melon complemented by delightful floral notes –lovely definition and focus.

This is benchmark stuff. It presents a smoky, flinty, mineral nose progressing towards a plump, rather luscious attack, honeyed orchard and stone fruit and hints of flowers.
Luxuriant and seductive on the palate – the grapes are late-picked here bunch by bunch to secure optimal ripeness- there is nonetheless a seam of refreshing acidity which continues throughout a long, layered, poised finish

The celebrated Doctor vineyard produces wines which are richer than its Kabinett siblings yet with a more pronounced bite of acidic tension and a salty tang on the finish, which works brilliantly with the slaty minerality. The precise finish is rounded out by a lovely fleshy fruit residue coating the palate. Textbook high quality Kabinett, seriously good.

A beautifully complete nose here, of fine crushed earth minerality, ripe lime, gooseberry and apricot fruit. The palate is powerful from the off, drivingly intense and with an unabashed potency which is really rather exciting. This, as Sofia was quick to point out, is balanced by an intricate delicacy of acidic bone structure and mineral tension. Hits all the right notes, stunning.

In many ways the pinnacle of this offer, this majestic wine has quite lovely, upfront stone-fruit, white peach and pretty white flowers, with an impressive weight and body. It feels drier than its Auslese designation indicates, the taut acidity ensuring drinkability and inviting you to have another glass. Indeed, perhaps this drinkability is the key to this wine, finishing long, with persistent, resonant fruit
