920. Paul Cluver, Noble Late Harvest Riesling Elgin, 2012
A surprise finale to Richard Hemming’s JR.com Riesling blind tasting – a classically-styled Beerenauslese (albeit more fruit-forward), but from South Africa. Nicely-balanced acidity and …
879. Weinlaubenhof Kracher, Beerenauslese Cuvée Burgenland, 2011

So finally got around to tasting one of the other of Reiner Probst’s wines bought when in Breisach-am-Rhein, rowing. This was orange gold in …
