Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium Fritz Willi Riesling 2024
Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium is one of the Mosel's most historically fascinating estates, with roots stretching back to a Jesuit school founded in Trier in 1561 — one of whose more famous pupils was Karl Marx. Wine production from the estate's vineyards helped support the school for centuries, and today the estate comprises around 25 hectares on the steep slopes of the Middle Mosel and Saar, exclusively dedicated to Riesling. The cellars lie deep beneath the city of Trier, where a stone in the foundations bears the date 1593. Why You'll Love It Fritz Willi is the estate's approachable, everyday Riesling — and it delivers everything you could want from the Mosel at this price point. Fragrant, fresh, and mineral-driven, it captures the essence of slate-grown Riesling without demanding cellaring or ceremony. The combination of stainless steel and traditional Mosel Fuder (1,000-litre oak barrels) adds a layer of complexity that sets it apart from simpler, fruit-forward alternatives. History in a glass, at a very reasonable price. Vineyard & Production Riesling grapes are sourced from the steep, slaty soils of the Saar and Mosel — the classic terroir that gives Mosel Riesling its signature minerality and precision. After careful picking and selection, the grapes are fermented in both 1,000-litre oak Fuder and stainless steel, with the two components blended later to add complexity and texture. The wine then rests on its fine lees before bottling to build further depth and character. Tasting Notes Fragrant aromas of ripe apricot and red apple open on the nose, with inviting floral lift. On the palate, delicious citrus characters are beautifully balanced by refreshing slate minerality — crisp, precise, and elegantly poised with a clean, lingering finish. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile food wine, perfect with grilled fish, scallops, pasta with bacon or cream sauces, smoked salmon, Asian cuisine, Thai green curry, soft cheeses, or charcuterie.

Seifried Estate Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Seifried Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and aromatic New Zealand white wine, crafted from grapes grown in the Brightwater and Queen Victoria vineyards. Known for its purity, clarity, and energetic character, this Sauvignon Blanc perfectly captures the style of Nelson with bright fruit flavours and lively acidity. Meet the Vineyard The Brightwater vineyard lies 15 km from the coast, sheltered by the Richmond Ranges, with stony soils that retain warmth and encourage even ripening. The Queen Victoria vineyard, in the Motueka region, is planted on free-draining, rocky soils that enhance fruit clarity and varietal intensity. Both sites produce grapes of exceptional quality, reflecting the unique Nelson terroir. Winemaking Grapes are carefully selected and harvested to preserve optimal ripeness, freshness, and varietal character. Leaves are removed around the fruiting zone to improve light exposure and air circulation, ensuring healthy, clean fruit. The juice is fermented under controlled conditions to maintain aromatic intensity, followed by clarification and stabilisation prior to bottling. Tasting Notes Pale straw in colour, this Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is bright and expressive, with aromas of green apple, melon, and crushed lime. The palate is fresh, flavoursome, and well-balanced, delivering a clean, long-lasting finish that is both vibrant and memorable. Food Pairing Ideal as an aperitif, or paired with flavoursome dishes such as Thai green curry, garlic-steamed mussels, seafood, and light salads. Grape Variety Sauvignon Blanc 100%
