Dr Bürklin-Wolf Trocken Riesling 2007 is the perfect blend of pristine citrus and stone fruit aromas. With a crisp middle, lasting dry finish and hint of spice, this dry Riesling is delightful on the palate.

How can something that is so light in alcohol have such incredible palate weight and texture? It's an art form and Ernst Loosen is a master. The Kabinett style means a decent lick of residual sugar, but the steely, crunchy acid means you'll hardly notice it. Simply stunning.

From Dr Ernst Loosen - the maestro of the Mosel. If you are new to German Riesling, you are in for a treat. Mouth filling notes of freshly cut apples, flowers and a thread of honey is balanced by the most incredible, crunchy acid. Its a journey of flavour with each mouthful. Oh and look at the price...

The wine-growing region Nahe is situated along the River Nahe in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The region has around 4.000 ha of vineyards: white wine grapes dominate with 75% with the Riesling as the most common. A characteristic of the Nahe region os the soil diversity due to volcanic origins. Although the region was populated already in Roman times, the Nahe region was defined only in 1971 in the German wine law. Paradiesgarten is a special small appellation in the Nahe Valley near the village of Meddersheim, translated the word means "Garden of Eden/Paradise" due to the beautiful countryside

Almond and vanilla cream are co-mingled with melon and apple on a palate of satiny, lees-enhanced richness and vivid buoyancy. This manages to soothe and refresh in an unbeatable if not inimitable 2008 way, with brown spices and crushed stone adding complexity to its lingering finish.

Named after the sundial erected in the vineyard in 1842, Wehlener Sonnenuhr is the most famous vineyard in the Mosel. J.J Prüm owns five hectares of this precious vineyard. Extremely steep with optimal south-south west exposure, it yields fragrantly floral wines with ripe stone fruit aromas, underlying slately minerality and wonderful depth of flavour and structure. The Auslese wines are typically more reticent when young showing vivid crystalline citrus fruit and a backbone of tingling minerally acidity that will carry it gracefully for decades.

The current vintage of Dr. L Riesling evokes a walk through an orchard in the late summer: luscious pear, peach and apple aromas retain the crisp sweet tart quality of ripening fruit just before harvest. Highly recommended
