Mosel

Dry Riesling 2018 Peter & Ulrich Griebeler STAR BUY

Very crisp and dry with plenty of limey fruit notes, stone fruit flavours and mouthwateringly zippy acidity. Made by Heinrichshof winery, run by the Griebeler brothers (Peter Griebeler trained with Mosel guru Fritz Haag) with vineyards on the steep slopes of Zeltinger Schlossberg and Sonnenuhr. Ideal aperitif, but could match a light curry.

Bernkasteler Graben Riesling Trocken ‘Gg’ 2017 Dr H Thanisch STAR BUY

Finely etched, well-structured dry Mosel riesling from a superb site, Bernkasteler Graben is on the edge of the legendary Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard. Very elegant, apple and honey notes, lovely integrated minerality, tense steely palate with a hint of spice. Dr Thanisch, a small nine hectare estate run by 11th generation Sofia Thanisch, makes supremely elegant rieslings – this scored high marks for its potential with two years’ extra maturity in bottle it will be very fine.
