Product Description: The Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese 2024 is a rare, late-harvest Riesling from the renowned Graacher Domprobst vineyard in Germany’s Middle Mosel. Significantly, the 2024 vintage represents the first Joh. Jos. Prüm release from this historic vineyard site. The wine comes from a small 0.3-hectare parcel acquired from S.A. Prüm, and Auslese was the only classification produced from the parcel in 2024. Graacher Domprobst is recognised as a VDP.GROSSE LAGE® and occupies a protected position directly above the village of Graach. The vineyard rises from approximately 110 to 260 metres above sea level, with steep gradients ranging from 45 to 70 percent. Its southwest-to-south-southwest orientation provides favourable sun exposure, while shelter from prevailing winds helps the grapes reach full ripeness. The soils are composed of grey-blue Devonian slate with a notable proportion of clay, providing both mineral character and valuable water-storage capacity. The grapes were harvested by hand and underwent spontaneous fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Harvest began on 1 October, with warmer conditions later in the month allowing selected grapes to progress to Auslese ripeness. The wine’s aromatic characteristics include lemongrass, mint, cassis and wet slate. These herbal, dark-fruited and mineral elements give the wine a distinctive profile compared with the more citrus-oriented expressions associated with neighbouring Graacher Himmelreich. At only 7% alcohol, it retains the graceful lightness expected of a finely composed Mosel Auslese despite its ripe fruit concentration. Serve with apricot chicken or Asian summer rolls, where its fruit, freshness and low-alcohol delicacy can complement aromatic flavours. Tasting Notes NOSE – Herbal and mineral-driven Lemongrass, fresh mint, cassis and wet slate. PALATE – Delicate and finely concentrated Blackcurrant fruit, cooling herbs and slate-derived mineral character. FINISH – Cool and persistent Lingering mint, lemongrass and stony freshness.

What a magnificent wine! A pioneer in the modern Australian Chardonnay stakes, the Vat 47 from the Hunter Valley has a silky bouquet of melon stone fruit and creamy oak that is followed by a palate of extraordinary balance and length. An absolute classic and will only get better with some medium term ageing.

The wine expresses characters of lemon curd, glazed apricot Danish, ginger snap and orange blossom team with savoury underlying buckwheat, lanolin and toasty char complexity. These work in concert with a tactile calcareous interplay underpinning a silky pear-like texture. A lingering line of acidity provides the backbone but allows for the richness, weight and flavour, directing to a resounding and expansive finish. where body, flavour & palate weight co-exist with structure, texture and restrained acidity. Complex fruit characters of white nectarine, saffron, Pink Lady apple, chamomile flower, cashews and Leatherwood honey work in concert with a tactile interplay of chalk, silkiness and Beurre Bosc pear-like texture. Subtle acidity provides the backbone conveying the fruit and weight to a resounding finish.

Thörle Schlossberg Riesling, Rheinhessen This single vineyard wine comes from the Schlossberg Vineyard at Saulheim in the north-eastern sector of Rheinhessen, the largest of Germany’s 13 major wine-producing regions. The vineyard lies at an elevation of between 170 and 235m and is the coolest of Thörle’s three top sites. The deep clay and limestone soils effectively store heat and water. The amphitheatre-like Schlossberg has a unique microclimate, protected from winds by the surrounding hills, yet with a direct, tunnel-like connection to the Rhine which enables a constant supply of warm air to Schlossberg even on cold autumn days. Schlossberg Rieslings have finesse and are commonly mineral, delicate and earthy, with good acidity. They are Thörle’s most elegant wines. The Thörle family has been making wine at Saulheim in Germany's Rheinhessen region since the 16th century. Christoph Thörle and his brother Johannes have been running the estate since 2006. The vineyards are managed organically. These three flagships, single vineyard wines are naturally fermented, with some skin contact, 90% in stainless steel, 10% in barrel.

Conceived as a white wine development program, the Bin 51 Riesling soon became one of Penfolds' star performers. Eden Valley is an obvious choice of region for Riesling due to the higher altitude and cool climate. The wine offers delicate aromas of fresh cut apples and pears with a twist of lemon and minerality towards the end. A great deal of fruits and acidity makes for an interesting white wine with propensity to age gracefully if carefully cellared.

Pale gold in the glass, with green highlights. The nose is lifted and aromatic with white blossom, ripe, yellow stonefruits, toasty oak characters, and a complex nuttiness, shot through by minerality. The palate is rich and textural, with layers of fruit, balanced by citrus-like acidity. Long and finely detailed on the finish. 100% Chardonnay from vineyards in the small appellation of Ladoix.The soils of the upper slopes are pebbly and reddish (iron-rich olite) with a high limestone content and quite marly. These suit great white wines. The grapes are harvested by hand and then directly pressed in a pneumatic press. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in French oak barrels, of which 30% are new. The lees are stirred (bâtonnage) occasionally during ageing, which lasts 10 months. Jaffelins history is inseparable from that of the Collégiale Notre Dame de Beaune (the Notre Dame collegiate church in Beaune). Over the centuries, their cellars have housed the wines of the Collégiale and the Cardinals. The cellars changed ownership in 1816, when the Jaffelin brothers established themselves as negociants in the region. Today their wines rest in the monastic tranquility of the Chapitres cellars, just as they did eight centuries ago. Jaffelin entered a new chapter in its history in 2004, after completely renovating the vat room, and equipping it with modern winemaking equipment. They strive to bring out the Burgundy terroirs, cru by cru, wine by wine, at every stage of the winemaking process.
