German Wine Case

Explore the Elegance of German Wines

This collection offers a proper deep dive into German winemaking, bringing together four distinct Rieslings and two elegant Pinot Noirs. We’ve selected these bottles to show off the mineral-driven style of the Pfalz, Mosel, and Rheingau - moving from the bone-dry, "crushed slate" intensity of Fritz Haag’s Brauneberger Juffer to the smoky, citrus energy of P.J. Kuhn’s Quarzit and the structured, age-worthy Kalkstein from Pfeffingen. If you’re after something more rounded and textured, the Pfeffingen Weissburgunder is a fantastic, food-friendly all-rounder. For the reds, you get a great contrast between the concentrated strawberry and licorice notes of Pfeffingen’s "Alte Reben" and the earthy, savoury forest fruits of J. Geil’s Pinot Noir. Most of these are drinking beautifully right now, but the Kalkstein and Fritz Haag have plenty of life in them if you want to keep them for a while.

Fritz Haag, Riesling Trocken, 2023

"A streak of mineral linearity describes this racy Riesling from the Brauneberger Juffer site, made bone dry in the GG style. Floral and spiced aromatics play well with the wine's touch of reduction. The palate is austere in its complexity—crushed slate, ripe lemon and grapefruit glide on air across the briny, crushed shell mineral backbone."
-Decanter 

Food Pairing: Delicate seafood, such as raw oysters, scallops, and ceviche, roasted pork loin with apple sauce or a classicpork schnitzel. It also pairs well with the subtle spices and herbs in light Asian cuisines, such as Vietnamese summer rolls

Cellaring: Perfect now

Weingut Pfeffingen Spatburgunder Alte Reben, 2023

A medium bodied Pinot Noir from old vines (alte reben). Concentrated aromas of strawberries, raspberries with a subtle note of licorice on the nose. Nice balance, soft elegant tannins with good acidity and a persistent earthy finish.
