Margarethenhof is a quality conscious, family producer that works with low yielding Riesling vines on the steep slopes above the village of Ayl on the river Saar. This is a Kabinett, on the lighter end of the spectrum in Germany, & low alcohol. An aromatic honeyed nose, with fantastically concentrated, ripe fruit & plenty of tangy acidity on the palate. Vibrant & lingering finish. Ideal served on its own, but an excellent match to Thai cuisine. ...

For Markus, care & attention is at the heart of every wine he bottles. It’s no wonder his wines have received so much praise from renowned critics like Robert Parker. Up on the steep slate slopes of Mosel, everything in Markus’s vineyards is laboriously done by h&. His philosophy is to let the terroir speak for itself – so as little intervention as possible is key. This wine comes from a historic vineyard planted with ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines. Grapes are harvested later, meaning only tiny yields are handpicked – but only if each grape passes a close inspection. The result? An incredibly complex wine that’s spent almost a decade evolving in the bottle – with potential for even further ageing. It’s lusciously sweet, with aromatic notes of honey, roasted hazelnut, pear, pineapple, flinty notes & a refreshing acidity. Enjoy this with blue cheese or fruity desserts. ...
