von der Fels Rheinhessen Riesling 2015

Alder Yarrow
9.5

There are some times when the only thing that will suffice is one of the world’s greatest Rieslings. Klaus-Peter Keller @kellerdalsheim is, in my mind, the undisputed master of the Rheinhessen region of Germany. The Keller family has been making wine for 10 generations, and the oldest parcel of Riesling they have has been handed down within the family since 1789. Keller, who apprenticed in Burgundy before studying enology at Geisenheim told me that he looks for “playful elegance” in wine. He wants it to dance on the palate. And I’ve never had a bottle of his wine that hasn’t made ME want to dance. This one marries lemon pith and lemon oil with Asian pear and mandarine orange peel. But all of these flavors are perceived through a quartz-like minerality that evokes the feeling of licking an icicle or exploring a glacial cave. Stunning clarity and incredible acidity makes for a profound glass of mostly-dry Riesling. — 3 years ago

Orchards Fold Vineyard Riesling 2014

Established in 2007, Orchards Fold Vineyard sits comfortably at a 590 ft elevation, and is planted with Riesling Geisenheim clones 110, 239, and 198. White peaches underpin gossamer, feminine notes of white hand soap and orange blossom. It glides across the palate, bolstered by a deeper, more turbulent currant of acidity and white grapefruit until at least, it tapirs to a long, protracted finish. 12.0% ABV | Sample — 8 years ago

I am not a fan of white wines but I purchased this one and I can’t wait to try it again. Initially tasted while in a tour of Prince Edward County. The wine maker, Mackenzie was a joy to listen to, her enthusiasm for wine making was evident.

A definite treat to enjoy the bottle I had purchased. Not a mystery why this small batch wine sold out. Utterly enjoyable.
