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.
KWV The Mentors Chenin Blanc 2023
KWV The Mentors Chenin Blanc is a premium, limited-production white wine from one of South Africa's most respected producers. Part of KWV's flagship Mentors range, which focuses on terroir-driven wines from exceptional vineyard sites, this is a wine of real depth, complexity and age-worthiness, crafted for those seeking a more serious and expressive white wine experience. Why You'll Love It South Africa is one of the world's great homes for Chenin Blanc , and The Mentors showcases exactly why. Bold, refined and beautifully structured, with nine months of oak ageing adding richness and texture without masking the variety's natural vibrancy, this is a white wine that rewards both the curious and the collector. If you think Chenin Blanc is just an everyday sipper, this wine will change your mind entirely. Vineyard and Production Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites, with meticulous attention to canopy management and yield control to ensure only the finest fruit is used. The wine is aged for nine months in oak, developing a creamy texture and layered complexity while retaining the freshness and aromatic intensity that defines great South African Chenin Blanc. Tasting Notes Sumptuous and expressive on the nose, with aromas of pineapple, ripe mango, apricot and passionfruit. The palate is creamy and textured, with hints of citrus, subtle oak and a lovely mineral thread running through to the finish. Floral notes add freshness and lift, creating a wine that is both rich and vibrant in equal measure. Perfect Pairings A versatile and food-friendly white. Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, pork belly, creamy pasta dishes and soft cheeses. Also excellent alongside spiced fish, Thai-inspired cuisine or a classic chicken pie. Equally impressive on its own as a premium aperitif. Grape Variety Chenin Blanc
