Château Guiraud 2020
The 2020 vintage shows all the hallmarks of top Guiraud: luscious layers of apricot, candied citrus, and honeyed tropical fruit, lifted by ginger spice and a streak of freshness that keeps everything poised. Rich and opulent, yet beautifully balanced, it’s a classic Sauternes that will reward both patience and indulgence. Founded in 1766, Château Guiraud has always gone its own way, proudly displaying its black label and earning Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. Today it’s one of Sauternes’ great names, known for combining tradition with innovation.
Clemens Busch, Marienburg Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, - Half 2017
Marienburg lies in the Mosel, where steep, south-facing slopes soak up every bit of sunshine in this cool climate. The blue and grey slate soils hold on to that warmth and radiate it back to the vines, helping the grapes ripen slowly while keeping the region’s trademark acidity and mineral edge intact. This Auslese is made from carefully selected, very ripe bunches, often with a little noble botrytis in the mix. Hand-harvesting brings extra concentration and sweetness, but the Mosel’s cool conditions keep everything bright and precise. The result is a luscious yet beautifully balanced Riesling, full of vivid fruit, freshness and crystalline clarity. The ‘Goldkapsel’ label marks out a special selection from the Spätlese harvest, from riper, more concentrated grapes, giving the wine added depth, intensity and complexity.
