“When I canvassed a bunch of leading London sommeliers - all in their twenties and thirties - about what they drank on their day off, one wine appeared on everyone's list, and in most cases in first place. I can't resist asking the question of any sommelier I meet now, and still the same wine comes up, no matter what the nationality of the sommelier or the cuisine of the restaurant: German Riesling”
Joanna Simon, The Sunday Times
“German wine has started to make a comeback, as consumers turn increasingly to the valleys of the Rhine for a lighter high quality tipple.”
Valerie Elliott, The Times
“After a good value wine? One category that consistently over-delivers is German Riesling.”
Bernard Wilkes, The Wharf Magazine
“Germans famously lack a sense of humour, but the joke would most certainly be on us if we could not appreciate their nurturing of what some professionals claim to be the finest white grape variety in the world.”
Anthony Quinn, Esquire Magazine
“For a clear head on Valentine's Day, there is simply no other choice than German Riesling ”
Food & Wine
“If you want to cellar table wine, the good news is that yes, Rieslings are indeed a very safe bet.”
Max Allen, Olive Magazine
