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 …
881. Hunter’s, Hukapapa Riesling Dessert Wine Marlborough, 2011
This was in our First Year Assessment: a cryo-extracted sweet Marlborough Riesling… So I needed to retaste it and understand why it was (apparently) …
880. Peller Estates, Riesling Ice Wine Niagara Peninsula, 2011

Interesting to test this sequence of sweet Riesling styles from the same producer. Noteworthy that the Auslese only is vineyard specific. Clear botrytis progression …
786. Mount Horrocks, Cordon Cut Riesling Clare Valley, 2013
A bit of an exam curiosity, this one. Made by cutting the canes on ripening Riesling bunches, so that they shrivel and concentrate the …
765. Wagner Stempel, Höllberg Riesling Rheinhessen, 2010
Served to us blind in a line-up of 8 Rieslings, by Christina’s brother – all dry styles. This was the wine of the night …
759. Joh. Jos. Prüm, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, 1995
