Von Winning, Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Riesling, 2016, Pfalz, Germany

Posted on August 11, 2022 by richardgore1200

Play the extra and get good German wine is what’s needed in the UK and this Riesling from Von Winning shows why. A medium dry wine that has a surprising amount of acidity. There are flavours of citrus, lemon, grapefruit with apple and peach. Mineral and stone highlights with a honey background coming through.

About £15 to £20 a bottle it more than you may want to pay, but that’s what you going to pay for decent wine in Germany.

Deinhard, Grauer Burgunder, 2014, Pfalz, Germany

German wines are generally very good but not necessarily the ones in the UK, you have to hunt them out and pay that little bit more like for this Dr Deinhard Grauer Burgunder.

Made with Pinot Gris this is a growing up wine with plenty of citrus flavour and subtle mineral notes coming through.

At about £20 a bottle it’s little bit on the pricey side but then again you do have to pay extra to get good German wine in the UK.
