Have not tired of this recent Austrian find. A ‘natural’ wine but enough old world Chardonnay stuffing to let me ignore the label. — 7 months ago

Wow, this is an absolute bombshell of a wine, the Lorcher Riesling from Rheingau superstar Eva Fricke in the 2019 vintage. Right from the get-go, this supercharged wine blows you off your feet with its cacophony of petrol, salt, lime and garden herbs on the nose – almost like shoving your proboscis into a packet of salt and vinegar crisps. In a good way!

The palate is actually quite a contrast, with a supple, generous mouthfeel with none of the hard edges this grape can bring. Perhaps attributable to the warm, ripe vintage that 2019 was. But it offers a complex array of bitter fruits, some sweet lime, nectarine, and a long finish. It is perhaps slightly underwhelming given the supercharged aromas this wine possesses, but it’s very good stuff nevertheless!

Quite light green tinged . Restrained fresh apple peel ,
camomile and sea breeze notes . On the palate quite strict salivating acidity with more green fruits , along with the camomile and mineral , chalky, wet stone element . Quite lean with just a hint of sweetness to balance with ok length. Young but enjoyable for now and the next 5 -8 years or so — 2 years ago

Pfalz Sauvignon blanc. Fascinating portal into the kind of detailed palate & bright fruits possible for this varietal in Germany. Think more Loire than NZ. Impressive acidity. — 3 years ago

Love how woodsy and herbal this is, like rooting around in the underbrush for tiny dark berries. Light ruby color but plenty of structure, aromatic and fresh — 2 years ago
