Last month we hosted our annual portfolio tastings at the country's oldest and most prestigious teaching establishments; Oxford and Cambridge universities.
For the past 20 years, we have been educating the individual wine stewards about the delights of modern German wine.
The most successful wines of our annual Oxbridge tastings have been put together in this mixed case of 12...
Red x 2
This Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) tastes of woodland, berries and cherries. It has elegant herbal notes. The velvety tannin structure and discreet wood flavour create a smooth finish.
White x 2
Subtle aroma of herbs and distinct fruitiness. The taste of this wine shows a powerful structure with an elegant acidity and fine phenolic textures. A lot of pressure with a long finish. Aromatic - herbaceous - intensive. A real rarity!
White x 2
The Leinhöhle is situated on the western brim of Deidesheim next to Kieselberg and Paradiesgarten. The vineyard is south facing and close to the forest. So it gets a lot of sun during the night. On the nose it is citric nad peach with hits of flint-stone.
White x 2
The Winterbacher Riesling originates from a high quality vineyard with
VDP.ORTSWEINE classification. The terroir there gives this dry white wine its unique expressiveness. On the nose, this Riesling has fruity aromas of ripe pear and yellow peach, as well as hints of honeydew melon and citrus. On the palate, it this wine is fruity and very mineralic.
White x 2
The complex and delicate of this wine reflects the Winklerberg's volcanic soil terroir in a perfect way. Fresh citrus fruits and linden blossom in the nose combined with a certain spiciness. On the palate with day-bright aroma, hints of white apples and polemo. Dense fruit body with a refreshing and well balanced acidity structure. Long lasting and brisk finish with fine citrus notes.
White x 2
Kochan & Platz's Riesling Classic has a fresh minerality that is delicately balanced with hints of ripe fruit. The tangy acidity underlines the fruity flavours of lime and peach. It has a strong structure and an inspiring finish. The grapes that were used to produce this Riesling come from the steep, slate rich vineyards of Lieser, in the heart of the Mosel region. The winery's deep respect for tradition and work that is in harmony with nature guarantees excellent qualities.
