- Zilliken Riesling Qba Butterfly 2011 Product #26072 (In Stock)
-
-
We recently revisited this estate and were impressed by the quality of all their wines, but with the medium-dry Butterfly most of all. It opens with aromas of peaches, Meyer lemon, and white flowers, and on the palate strikes just the right balance of sweetness and zingy acidity. A winner with spicy sausages and charcuterie!
- Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett 2010 Product #26411 (In Stock)
-
-
Founded in the late 1800s, Gunderloch remains one of the top estates in Germany's Rheinhessen region. The Jean Baptiste cuvee is a great introduction to this top Riesling house.
"This shows a fine minerally essence to its juicy ripe grapefruit, ginger and spiced apple flavors that are long and rich. The elegant finish features tropical and savory notes. Drink now through 2022."Wine Spectator 90 points
- Klemens Weber Riesling Sekt Trocken 2009 Product #26414 (In Stock)
-
-
This is a seriously fun bottle of sparkling wine. A single-vintage, dry sparkler made from 100% Riesling from Pfalz producer Klemens Weber, this party in a glass opens with aromas of golden apple and chammomile. On the palate, it explodes with flavor: green apple, Honey Crisp, candied pineapple, on and on. This would be great as an aperitif, but also with all kinds of pork-based fall dishes.
- Monchhof Riesling Spatlese Mosel Slate 2011 Product #26413 (In Stock)
-
-
Another terrific vintage for this old-school Mosel producer, Robert Eymael. As you'd expect from a wine called "Slate", this delivers loads of stone and mineral flavors over ripe pear and Fuji apple fruit. Definitely spatelese weight and richness here, but with vibrant, almost crunch, acidity and minerality on the long, savory, finish.

Another fine release from the master of the Mosel. Decant or leave open for an hour to let the youthful sulfur blow off.
"This features ripe lime and slate notes on an elegant frame, with lively hints of white chocolate and vanilla. The rich finish of peaches and cream is accented by light, smoky notes. Drink now through 2020."Wine Spectator 90 points
- Kesselstatt Riesling Kabinett Piesporter Goldtropfchen 2010 Product #26219 (In Stock)
-
-
Definitely a fuller, richer Kabinett, but delicious nonetheless! This fantastic Riesling from a family-owned estate that dates back to the 14th century, and one of the Mosel's most famous sites, opens with aromas of marzipan, white flowers, lemon curd, and fresh peaches. On the palate it has that lovely, crackling acidity you'd expect in a Kabinett, especially from the 2010 vintage, but the finish shows a bit more richness than other producers, and a delicious note of gooey marshmallow. A wonderful foil for pungent cheese or spicy food, or just as an afternoon sipper. Yum!
- Kesselstatt Riesling Kabinett Scharzhofberger 2011 Product #27125 (In Stock)

Another gorgeous Riesling from a classified Mosel-Saar-Ruwer site, this Kabinett from Reichsfraf von Kesselstatt has all the vibrancy and drive you could want in an off-dry Riesling. Classic aromas of spring flowers and stone fruits on the nose, and refreshing, almost prickly acidity. Mouthwatering and delicious.
"A powerful white, featuring plenty of minerality and concentrated savory notes to the green apple, nectarine and spice flavors. Slate and smoke fill the rich, zesty finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,000 cases made."Wine Spectator 92 points
- Monchhof Riesling Auslese Erdener Pralat 2011 Product #26719 (In Stock)
-
-
Always one of our favorite Riesling producers, the 2011 Erdener Pralat Auslese is gorgeous as usual. A bit softer than the 2010, the 2011 is all about dried pineapple, tropical fruit, and white flowers. Just enough acidity to keep things in balance. Delicious on its own or with pungent cheeses.
- Kesselstatt Riesling Trocken Nies' Chen Gg Erste Lage 2010 Product #27124 (In Stock)

From one of the best sites in the Ruwer comes this bone dry, powerful Riesling. It's part of a new wave of German wines made in a dry style and meant to showcase the unique aspects of different vineyard sites, in this case the blue slate the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer is famous for. Beautiful aromas of pineapple and ripe stone fruits on the nose, and at once concetrated and energetic on the palate. Stunning.
