2022 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt, Graach Riesling Trocken VDP, Mosel
The Mosel Benchmark
Begin with Germany's most prestigious dry Riesling from the legendary Graacher Himmelreich vineyard. This VDP Grosse Lage showcases pristine green apple, white peach, and wet slate minerality. Light-bodied with razor-sharp acidity and crystalline clarity—bone-dry yet fruit-forward with lime zest and distinctive slate character. This is Riesling in its purest form—transparent, precise, and utterly terroir-driven. Perfect with oysters.
2021 Karthäuserhof, Riesling dry, Schieferkristal, Ruwer, Germany
The Ruwer Intensity
Continue with the Ruwer Valley's most historic estate, producing wine since 1335. This "Schieferkristal" reveals white grapefruit, green apple, and crushed stone. Taut and mineral-driven with piercing acidity—citrus wrapped in steely slate framework. More structured and intense than Mosel, with saline quality and extraordinary length. Age-worthy and profound. Pair with sushi.
2006 Gessinger-Leyendecker, Riesling Spätlese "Zeltinger Himmelreich"
The Aged Treasure
Ascend to complexity with this beautifully aged Mosel Spätlese. Nearly two decades have transformed this wine—dried apricot, honey, and petrol notes define classic Riesling maturity. Remarkable balance between residual sweetness and vibrant acidity, with poached pear, marmalade, and slate minerality. A masterclass in how Riesling evolves while maintaining freshness. Perfect with foie gras.
2023 Domaine Weinbach, Riesling "Cuvée Théo" Clos des Capucins
The Alsatian Grandeur
Transition to Alsace's legendary biodynamic producer. This cuvée showcases intense ripe peach, apricot, and Meyer lemon with white flowers and ginger. Medium to full-bodied with richer texture than German Rieslings—concentrated stone fruit balanced by granite minerality. Technically dry but generously fruity with long, complex finish. Riesling with power and grandeur. Ideal with roasted pork.
2024 Grosset, Riesling "Polish Hill", Clare Valley
The Australian Icon
Continue with one of the world's most celebrated Rieslings. Jeffrey Grosset's "Polish Hill" explodes with concentrated lime, lemon, and grapefruit. Powerful and intense—fuller-bodied with riper fruit yet impeccably balanced. Citrus and tropical fruit wrapped in mineral framework with almost viscous texture and endless finish. This wine will age for decades. Riesling reimagined—powerful, intense, distinctive. Pair with Thai curry.
2020 Von Buhl, Riesling Sekt Brut
The Sparkling Celebration
Conclude with traditional method Sekt that rivals Champagne. Made from 100% Riesling aged on lees—fine bubbles with green apple, brioche, and citrus. Bone-dry with crisp acidity and creamy mousse, complemented by yeasty complexity. Proof that Riesling can do it all. Perfect as an aperitif.
