Riesling Brut 2019, Reichsrat Von Buhl

Reichsrat von Buhl's Riesling Brut 2019 delivers a remarkable blend of tradition and complexity. This medium lemon-coloured sparkling wine impresses with its fine bubbles and captivating autolytic aromas of biscuit, bread dough, and brioche combined with fresh lemon and pear. On the palate, it’s nearly full-bodied, creamy, and balanced by high acidity. Its long, savoury finish makes it a great companion for grilled steaks or rich seafood dishes. Enjoy now or cellar until 2030.

Rotenberg GG 2019, Gut Hermannsberg

The Nahe region is named after the river that crosses the forested Hunsrück Hills valleys. Although the Nahe is one of the smaller German wine regions, its extraordinary range of soil types is second to none. For this reason, the region is able to grow a range of varieties and produce a large diversity of wine styles. However, like the Mosel, there are many steep vineyard sites here, and while they can produce great quality, the effort required to farm them has led to many being abandoned.
