Salz der ErdeRheingau, Germany
Why you'll love it
A beautifully terroir-driven Riesling that balances precision, texture, and freshness. Organic and highly expressive, it's ideal for lovers of dry German Riesling with real tension and minerality.
Laser-sharp and mineral with lemon, lime, green apple, and subtle honeyed notes. There's a saline edge, hints of kerosene and wet stone, and a crisp, mouth-watering finish.
Fresh seafood, oysters, sushi, Thai dishes, or roast chicken. Its acidity and saline character also make it brilliant with creamy cheeses.
Best known in Mosel, Alsace, Clare Valley
One of the world's great white grapes. Lime, apple, peach and floral notes, with bright, racy acidity. Made in every style from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and capable of ageing for decades, when it develops honey and toasty notes.
Germany
A short stretch of south-facing slopes along the Rhine, west of Wiesbaden, and one of Germany's classic regions. Riesling dominates, making elegant, structured wines from dry to lusciously sweet. Pinot Noir, known here as Spätburgunder, is a speciality around Assmannshausen. Noble, age-worthy and refined.
