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.
Mas De Daumas Gassac, Blanc, - Half 2020
A blend of Viognier, Chardonnay, Petit Manseng, and a touch of Chenin Blanc, this is a distinctive wine with plenty of character. Medium-bodied and textured, it unfolds in layers of tropical fruit, ripe stone fruit, and a drizzle of honey. The finish is long and lingering, keeping that richness in balance. A great match with French onion soup. Famous for its Grands Vins, the Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family owned vineyard for more than 40 years and belongs to the Guibert family. The estate is set in a wild and enchanting valley, close to the magnificent romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. 50 hectares of a deep, well drained soil, free from any chemical fertilisers.
