Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Auslese #6 Riesling 1997

Fill was 3 inches below the cork, which was soaked and mouldy and fell into the bottle as soon as Mr. Durand touched it.. 😳
Yet…. Still fresh as a daisy! Healthy golden colour with a copper tinge. Elegantly fruited and flowered, slatey and saline minerality. Off-dry medium-bodied palate. A wine with a distinguished personality, really self-assured and completely at ease.

Mosel Riesling 2019

Petrol nose. Peach / green apple. Not too acidic and dry enough to hide the sweetness. — 10 months ago

ONX

Mad Crush Grenache Blend

Excellent blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Tempranillo instead of Syrah. Works very well. I saw this described as “dusty fruits” which I take to mean earthy, and just slightly subdued. Relatively smooth and opens up nicely with air time. Will keep the other bottles for a while to see how the evolve. Another good effort from ONX wines out of Pasa Robles. Cheers — 6 years ago

Fritz Müller Perlwein Rosa Trocken Pinot Noir Blauer Portugieser

Incredible experience. This lightly sparkling Pinot/ Blauer Portugieser is a revelation. Being German, I didn't even know something like this exists. Mind blowing. — 9 years ago

Have a few more of these squirreled away, but opened for an old friend who used to buy a ton of Hewitson wines from me — this was nearly flawless, just a stunning presentation, best it’s shown — ever. — 9 months ago

Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett Riesling 2019

Suuper reductive, with funky notes of petrol and sour cream. Quite spritely too - almost lemonade-like. The palate is intense, concentrated, powerful and acidic and honestly quite inscrutable at this stage. Wow, this is a serious Riesling that demands patience. 90++ — 2 years ago

Arietta Wines lunch with owner Fritz. We were able to taste through some current releases as well as some reserve wines Fritz brought with him personally. A treat to enjoy these Andy Erickson wines!

Classically styled and balanced. Very reminiscent of Spottswoode’s SB. Floral with tart fruit and medium acidity. Lots of lemon-lime here but also melon. Crushed rocks. Vibrant.
