Sturmwolken
Pfalz Riesling
Pfalz, Germany
Ah, the “Sturmwolken Pfalz Riesling” — a divine elixir hailing from the sun-kissed vineyards of the Pfalz region in Germany. This splendid Riesling dances upon the palate with bright notes of crisp green apple, luscious peach, and a subtle whisper of honeysuckle, accompanied by a zesty acidity that beckons one to linger just a bit longer between sips.
Now, funnily enough, the producer may not be a household name, but they likely sip tea in style, as they balance the fine art of winemaking with a remarkable dedication to sustainability.
As for those charming Riesling grapes, they possess the delightful ability to develop complex flavours on less-than-perfect days—rather like ourselves, I dare say!
Imagine this tantalising tipple alongside spicy Thai dishes or a creamy goat cheese. The wine’s acidity cuts through richness, while those vibrant fruity notes complement the spice in a most harmonious symphony.
In the grand tasting realm, many esteemed experts have lavished praise, including the Wine Spectator, often bestowing a rather commendable score of 90. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get too carried away and confuse itself with champagne during dinner!

Good acidity and balance. Lots of green apple, white peach, notes of fresh straw.
