Riesling

From the steep, south facing Sommerberg Grand Cru vineyards, this fantastic Riesling displays intense flavours of peach, lemon, honey and smoke. Ripe fruits and minerals form a rich, subtly smoky finish. Fantastic elegance and balance.

Straw yellow with elegant green-silver tints. The nose is very delicate, dominated by lime and grapefruit. The attack shows the same flavours, along with great body and balance. This dry Riesling is full and refreshing with a long aftertaste typical of wines from limestone soils.

Straightforward but with a nice complexity as citrus, pear and white flowers perfumes develop. The palate is full of lively attack. The rich aromas, especially citrus, continue through the mid-palate. A long lasting wine, with a refreshing finish.

Aromatic, smooth, vibrant and tasty. Great flavours of Tangerine, apricot, wet stone, key lime, clove and nectarine. As wonderful on the tongue as their bottle designs are funky on the eyes.

Of a pale yellow color with golden glimmers and high aromatic intensity, where pleasant fruit bouquets stand out, such as pineapple and green apple, giving way to its characteristic floral notes such as white jasmine. A slight honeyed sensation on the finish. In mouth it presents an incredible acidity, good body and freshness. Its citric fruity side, dry and with long ending stands out.

High in natural acidity and bone dry, this wine is fresh and bright with intense smells of lime skin, citrus blossom, green apple, ripe guava and cinnamon spice. On the palate, there is crisp lime sorbet, stone fruit including apricot and classic mandarin, developing into rich lemon meringue. Wonderful racy minerality.

Light in colour with green reflexes. The fruity, elegant nose is rich and medium-bodied, with aromas of ripe fruits. The palate is elegant, very well-balanced, and full of yellow fruit character before a long finish.

Eroica is a labour of love for two of the world's great Riesling producers, Germany's Dr Loosen and Washington State's Chateau Ste. Michelle. Named after Beethoven's Third Symphony, Eroica reflects not only its variety and site, but also its heritage: bold and forward from its Washington roots, elegant and refined from German inspiration. This Riesling offers sweet lime and tangerine aromas with subtle mineral notes, and a mouth-watering acidity that is beautifully balanced by the generously fruity Washington grapes.

Colourfully expressive nose with notes of lemon, white flowers and a wee bit of minerality. Crisp yet well structured acidity balanced with a gorgeous purity of white ripe fruit and a gentle honeysuckle hint on the finish.

A very elegant wine with incredibly fresh mineral and lime notes on the nose. The palate is rich with more lime and lemon zest notes. Mouth-watering acidity balances the sweetness perfectly.

Framingham Select Riesling 2015 - January 2017 Decanter review

Delicate aromatics reminiscent of beeswax, raspberry, orange blossom and green tea, with some gentle stone-like mineral tones. Elegant, silky palate with low alcohol making the wine light on its feet, and great tension between sugar and acidity. Rich and pure flavours of orange citrus and red summer fruit compote along with crème anglaise carry through into a very long, stony, almost crunchy, mineral finish. Retained carbon dioxide from fermentation adds liveliness.

Authentic White is a blend of tasty white varietals including Riesling, Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. It is lush and juicy on the palate with aromas of pear, green apple and honeysuckle and flavors of melon, nectarine and crisp lemon zest finish.

A virtual fruit salad of mandarin segments, white fleshed peaches and crisp apples, sprinkled with lemon blossom and a dollop of honey. A lively, aromatic off-dry style that delivers a sherbet-like balance of bright, natural acidity and a subliminal touch of sweetness.

Bright, bold aromas of white flowers and kaffir lime and a generous, almost fleshy mid-palate with distinct lemongrass and lime flavours. Almost dry, the palate is succulent and long with a tight, fine structure and exuberant sweeping acidity on the clean finish.
