Clemens Busch, Riesling Vom Roten Schiefer 2023
The Vom Roten Schiefer hails from Germany’s Mosel, around Piesport and the steep vineyards lining the river. This cool-climate region is famed for its dramatic slopes and slate-rich soils, which are ideal for precise, expressive Riesling. The red slate (Roten Schiefer) gives the wine its name and character, storing daytime heat to aid slow ripening and lending a vivid mineral edge, clarity and racy acidity that define top Mosel wines. The 2023 vintage offers a luminous character with floral notes, lively acidity, and remarkable aging potential. Clemens and his wife Rita are a humble yet hugely respected duo, having built a cult following over the past 30 years for their incredibly precise, richly textured, and terroir-driven wines. Produced biodynamically and organically since 1984, they are a compelling choice for Riesling enthusiasts who appreciate a mineral-driven profile.
Fromm, Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Based in the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, Fromm was established in the 90s, undergoing organic conversion in 2005, and has rapidly developed a cult reputation for its range of single vineyard reds & whites. Winemaking is Burgundian, with little more than 3,000 cases produced annually. The vineyards are farmed by hand, grapes hand-picked, whilst in the winery they use wild yeasts, aging in Burgundian oak barrels, bottling with no fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. The resultant wines combine all the elegance, structure and suaveness of Burgundy yet with that signature plushness of NZ fruit, making them very attractive indeed. "Cool and bright, showing zesty freshness upfront, with an underlying intensity that's both thirst-quenching and complex. Full of lemons and limes, a touch of grapefruit, freshly cut-grass, green bell pepper and elderflower all rolled-up together with some black current leaf and just a subtle hint of trademark Marlborough passionfruit. Very nicely balanced, a near-perfect blend of southern hemisphere sunshine and old world subtlety. Delicious." Our note
