• When two-time New Zealand Winemaker of the Year Dom told us he had a special sweet treat lined up for his Angels, we knew it had to be something seriously special to live up to his high standards. And boy did he prove us right… 

• This honey-sweet noble Riesling from Waipara’s incredible 2017 vintage has been ageing gracefully for 4 years and grows in complexity every day that drifts by. It’s unctuous and fresh, with beautiful flavours of mandarin orange, honey and spice. It’s simply a top-quality dessert wine.

• It’s already a delicious pairing for a sticky toffee pud or mega cheese board, but sweet wines this concentrated and complex are a rare thing, and can age for donkey’s years. So if you can bear to wait, it’ll be the perfect topper to round off a special slap-up dinner down the road.

• The word 'Trocken' is German for dry, which means that this Riesling is full of flavour AND ultra-refreshing.
• You can expect bags of mouth-wateringly juicy white peach flavour, with lifts of lemon and apple for a bit of punch and power. It's rounded, fragrant, and deliciously dry.
• For a Riesling of this quality, you'd normally pay double this price - but thanks to Angel funding, it's yours at the right price. So good with Thai food that the takeaway practically dials itself...

• Peter Klein is one lucky guy - he's young, talented, and on the road to great things. But most importantly of all, he has YOUR funding - and without that, this ravishingly ripe and refreshing Riesling couldn't exist.
• A crisp and lively flavour explosion, with juicy lemon, luscious lime and white peach positively bounding out of each glass. Top that off with a heavenly hint of fragrant honeysuckle, and you've got a wine worthy of even the fanciest al fresco feast.
• Wines of this quality don't come cheap - unless you're an Angel, of course! Riesling and spicy food are best friends forever, but if you're not a fan of the fire... grab yourself a bottle and try it with some marinated chicken and minty yoghurt dip for a bit of mid-week decadence.

• Stefan, the winemaker at the helm of Domaine Henri Ruppert, is the ninth generation of his family to make wine in Schengen, a small wine making village in Luxembourg’s Moselle region.
• The region has the dream climate for Riesling growers, with warm days and cool nights, giving their wines a fantastically strong, bright aroma and a huge variety of flavour between vineyards and vintages
• A gorgeous pale yellow in colour with a lush and abundant bouquet filled with white fruit and floral notes. After airing the wine, flavours of Mirabelle plums, lime zest and white flowers come to the forefront of this bright and utterly refreshing Riesling.

• If we were picking one white wine to keep behind glass and crack open for dinner in a pinch… this would be it. A first-class German Riesling with the intensity and flavour to stand up to everything from creamy soups and salads, right the way through to a full-on pork roast.

• To make it, Urban & Eva Kaufmann picked their very best grapes from carefully chosen sites in the Rheingau, which they knew would be bathed in sunlight all day long and provide pristine fruit with next-level oomph.

• What they’ve created is a refined wine, with a spicy yet soft, almost silky, texture and classic, refreshing Riesling acidity. On the nose, you get zesty aromas of lemon and lime, with a delicate floral hint, which follows through on the palate with heaps of intensity and a mouthwatering finish. Yum, who's for seconds?

• Riesling is all about the grapes, and the site on which it is grown. My Rebel Riesling is a blend of three different vineyards - one lovely old vineyard in Central Victoria, and two elevated vineyards in the King Valley and Strathbogie Ranges.
• As a Riesling fanatic myself, I put all my heart and soul into making my Rebel Riesling the tastiest little wine I can! This wine has a lovely pale straw colour, with plenty of fresh citrus aromas and flavours, with some delicate floral notes.
• So rocking Riesling lovers unite.. you won't be disappointed with this dry and racy drop!

• Jean-Claude is totally in tune with his vineyards. He believes the unique combination of the soil, the air, the sun and the wind on his land all contribute to the flavours in his wines.
• His vineyard is exclusively handpicked and pressing is carried out by pneumatic press. The juice flows by gravity down in the cellar where the fermentation starts with native yiests in traditional oak vats. Wines are aged on their lees and for several months and filtered before bottling with a minimum amount of sulphites added at that stage to avoir premature oxidation
• This wine is slender, showing gentle peach fruit, restrained juiciness and wonderful clarity, with some rounded creaminess in the background. It's a mellow, light-bodied Riesling with a dry, velvety finish.

• I found Riesling always fascinating and a great challenge to make. It is such a diverse grape variety with a wonderful quality to express its origin.
• These grapes were grown in a vineyard with soils rich in Kalkstein (limestone) and I love the flavours this gives to the wine.
• Delicate refreshing notes of yellow peaches, autumn apples, citrus and a hint of spice. The flavours are rich with a beautiful balance of fruit and a long mineral finish.

• The fruit for this Riesling comes from my very own Fuchsmantel vineyard in Bad Dürkheim. I'm thrilled because this is the first vintage that the grapes from this vineyard have gone into a single wine. My parents were members of the local cooperative, so the fruit from my vineyard used to end up in big blends. Angels will be the first to experience this Riesling.
• The site's optimal combination of vast sun exposure and sandy loam and limestone soils, produce plump ripe grapes with complex characters - classic hallmarks of wines from the Fuchsmantel subregion.
• With flavours of stone fruits on the first sip, followed by floral, yellow peach and citrus... all typical fruit characters you'd expect of a Fuchsmantel Riesling. It's juicy and tropical, but by no means syrupy - this is simply a deliciously fresh wine with a slight spice to its finish.

• Specially made using the very best fruit from the Kaufmann’s top vineyard site, this super elegant white is the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to Rheingau Riesling.

• One sip and you just know this is premium stuff. It’s got fresh, vibrant fruit laced all the way through, and these sensational smoky, spicy, and floral characters that dance on the tip of your tongue. It’s stunning complexity. And texture-wise it feels silky and elegant, almost creamy, with a rich minerality and an exquisite finish.

• This is a truly unique, great Riesling and definitely one to be savoured. Whether it’s over a few glasses with that special someone, or just a yummy Thai curry on your tod. There’s no rule book when it comes to a wine like this, so let your imagination run wild and enjoy.
