"For a lighter, less alcoholic course of aromatherapy, Riesling is the answer. German Rieslings range from piercingly fresh and dry with aromas of citrus and green apples, to honeyed sweetness with tropical fruits. They're labelled according to ripeness/sweetness, with Kabinett the driest, Spaetlese off-dry and Auslese richer still."

Jonathan Goodall, Saga Magazine (UK)

"The winemaking nation that most deserves a New Year’s honour for 2012 is Germany."

07 January 2012
Ned Halley, Western Daily Press (UK)

"I’ve long been a fan of the Rieslings of Germany […]. They offer a range of styles, from bone-dry elfish creations to sweeter fruity elixirs that remind me more of blitzed mangos than a glass of vino."

Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday (UK)

Rowley Leigh, The Financial Times Magazine (UK)

"German wine is a unique product, its named sites are extraordinarily diverse, it's an old wine-producing country proud of its history and and has an image that reflects that."

18 July 2011
Rupert Miller, The Drinks Business (UK)

"The wine jury may be out as to whether Germany's trophy grape will ever rival sauvignon blanc, but riesling's crisp,natural acidity with no oak influence has plenty to offer vino-lovers thirsty for a light summer sipper. From Old World to New World, from sweet to dry, the distinctive, slim bottle shape signals a lower than-average alcohol level, but with the power to partner spicy curries, stir-fries, seafood and sushi."

04 June 2011
Sam Wylie-Harris, Press Association (UK)

"The Mosel Valley, Germany, offers rich picking for riesling fans, or newcomers to this noble white grape. Farmed for its world-class riesling, they can vary from sweet and floral with a honeyedge, to bright and racy with hints of peach and plum."

Sam Wylie-Harris, Wolverhampton Magazine (UK)

"And with all the mild smoked cheeses, especially a gently smoked goat's cheese, a fine, apple-tinged,almost-dry German riesling was a sensation. Hard to think of anything more cool - or smokin' hot - this summer."

26 June 2011
Susy Atkins, Stella Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph (UK)

"For still whites, it's hard to beat the quality/ price ratio of fine, food-friendly riesling - crisp yet complex, light yet long-lived. As long as wine buff(oon)s continue to confuse this grape with liebfraumich, riesling will be undervalued."

23 October 2011
Susy Atkins, Stella Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph (London UK)

"There can be nothing more subtle and refreshing than fine German riesling."

04 December 2011
Susy Atkins, Stella Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph (UK)
