We've learned to approach Willi Schaefer Kabinett offers with trepidation. This is where fans of the estate devote most of their attention.
"This is a stunning expression of airy dry Mosel Riesling." We haven't seen a Schaefer GG bottling since 2012. In 2018, it came back in a big way.
Force, power, rigor, minerality. And yes, we are talking about a wine with over three decades of age. It’s been well over a year since Florian Lauer released any Reserve sparkling wines from his cold cellars in the Saar. As one of the most lavish, plush and powerful sparkling wines we’ve ever had from him, the 1987 has been worth the wait.
Simply put, Weiser-Künstler is making some of the greatest wines in Germany. It's clear both in how people speak of the estate and in the wines themselves that Weiser-Künstler is doing everything right. They are shimmeringly clear and featherweight wines that shock you with their minerality, precision, and overall composition.
In 2018, Adam turned out one of his most impressive collections of the past decade. They represent one of the high notes of the 2018 vintage. You would be hard-pressed to find a set of wines that possess as much verve and finely etched minerality.
Catching a bottle of Müller's Kabinett in the zone is one of our favorite wine experiences. Everything by Müller, from QbA to Eiswein, is absolutely stunning. Recently, though, we're obsessed with the Kabinett. The way that it manages intensity without weight makes it utterly and uniquely compelling.
There appears to be no stopping Willi Schaefer. They are a historic benchmark and loved by every Riesling fan that we've met. However, in recent vintages, the quality has really shown just what a world-class estate this is.
Willi Schaefer made some of our favorite wines in 2018. This won't surprise many people. Schaefer is a historically great estate that has been on a tear for the past handful of vintages. Simply put, they keep turning out the top collections of many vintages.
"Almost savagely intense" -David Schildknecht When you talk to Austrian fanatics about the best vineyards, you hear the same thing: Kellerberg, Singerriedel, Steinertal and Steiner Hund.
Last Saturday, we offered Keller's Kirchspiel RR and it sold out in a matter of hours. Today's Von der Fels offering will likely sell out just as quick.
The Kirchspiel vineyard is a sea of limestone, except for a tiny .33-hectare parcel of red soil. This is where the Kirchspiel RR enters the stage.
No dry Riesling comes close to its track record for aging profoundly. On numerous occasions, I've been fortunate enough to taste Clos Sainte Hune dating back to the 70s and I've been amazed by how clear and youthful the wines have been.
This summer is starting to feel like one endless heatwave. When it gets this hot, we have one fail-proof go-to: Riesling Kabinett.
No other wine on earth offers the combination of intensity and walk-on-tip-toe weightlessness. Catching a bottle of Müller Kabinett in the zone is one of our most beloved wine experiences.
Today we introduce two never-before imported Lauer rarities, off-dry Fass 3 and Fass 4. Then, to form a holy trinity, we add what we’ve called the “razorblade” of Lauer’s stable, Fass 2 Extra Trocken. A recent tasting of Lauer's 2018s confirmed the hype coming out of Germany about Florian Lauer’s 2018 collection: This is a do-not-miss, tour-de-force vintage for Lauer.
Ever since the first vintage in 2011, Alfer Hölle 1900 has become one of our favorite Rieslings. We have not met another winemaker in the Mosel with Ulli Stein's knowledge, passion, boundless energy and devotion to the region's forgotten vineyards. The Alfer Hölle 1900 is a monument to his efforts.
A special industry-only 2018 Lauer tasting the other week confirmed the hype coming out of Germany about Florian Lauer’s 2018 collection. This is a do-not-miss, tour-de-force vintage for Lauer.
For many, Alzinger represents the pinnacle of Austrian wine. When it comes to fine-ness, ageability and sheer class, it's hard to argue.
In any given vintage, Stein produces 400-500 liters of this wine. Ever since the first vintage in 2011, it's become our favorite bottling. Alfer Hölle 1900 is Stein’s magnum opus.
What Müller does with Scharzhofberg is magical. He renders the site beautifully clear, with a steely finesse and indisputable nobility. The wines transcend Riesling and assume a place among the greatest wines anywhere.
Simply put, the 2016 Gaispfad is a brilliant bottle of Riesling. It's a wine that covers such a broad flavor spectrum, everything from stone fruits, to spice, to floral notes, to stony minerality and much more. The total package is insanely detailed, incisive and beautifully textured.
With vintage 2018, Lauer presents us with the most explosive “Senior” bottling since the celebrated 2007. For the first time ever, we begin our 2018 vintage German campaign with one of our most popular offerings every year: Lauer’s formidable dry Riesling “Senior.”
For many Austrian wine fans, it simply doesn't get any better than Alzinger's Steinertal. Steinertal is Alzinger's magnum opus - the apex of his style. The site's finessed minerality seems to form a perfect marriage with Alzinger's super-fine and elegant style.
Neuenberg is one of the greatest parcels in the Ayler Kupp. The site delivers a near magical combination of expansive power paired with incredible detail and finesse.
