Gunderloch Estate Dry Riesling is a shining example of what a dry German Riesling should be. The nose offers inviting aromas of citrus fruit, herbs and smoked nuts, while the palate presents vibrant notes of green apple, lemon and earth, backed by bold, smoky mineral notes that extend through the finish. - A full-bodied, medium-dry white with a lovely aroma of roses, accompanied by flavors of ripe peach and litchi. Fruity on the front, this Gewürztraminer finishes a bit drier with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove.
- Hints of herbal notes add to this harmonious ensemble of rich fruitiness and delicate sweetness, perfectly balanced by a mild acidity and a lush seductive bouquet. Enjoy this wine with meat, tasty salads and not to sweet desserts. Perfect also with stronger flavored fish dishes and spicy Asian cuisine as well as by itself as an aperitif or party wine.
- Makers of the original Liebfraumilch, Valckenberg is one of the oldest wine shipping firms in Germany. Madonna is a cut above the ordinary Liebfraumilch with some Riesling in the blend to add backbone and freshness.
- Mandarin orange, passion fruit, little bit of lychee. Definitely sweet.
- Wonderfully complex and delicious with clove and ginger complexities, with pear and peach fruit. Finishes long and vibrant. An excellent German Riesling!
- This Undone Pinot Noir is very smooth, with berry and plum notes on the palate. It was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, so it has no oak influence – the pure flavors of Pinot Noir show through. A perfect match with salmon, red meat, and pasta.
- Aromas of lime, honeysuckle, wax and mineral notes. This has a clean character and nice weight on the palate which gets lift from the underlying acidity. Overall this is a solid bottle of wine.
- Ample levels of rich, fruity black cherry and spice. Blackberry, currant and vanilla in the taste. Wonderful by itself or with full flavored cheeses and crusty bread, grilled meats, lamb, venison or beef.
