Tasting notes - An enticingly fragrant Scheurebe, with irresistibly intense aromas of white flowers and red grapefruit combined with delicate spicy flavours. Refreshingly crisp with a lifted, zesty finish.

Grape Varieties - Scheurebe 100%

Pale yellow in colour with youthful hues, this dry organic Riesling shows ripe fruit aromas of citrus, green apple and light spice notes. The palate is delightfully refreshing, with the elegant medium body very well balanced by a crisp acidity and mineral subtones.

The high quality level of the previously named "Old Vines" will be consistently continued in this Grunhauser. Only the origin is now more clearly specified by name. The Grünhäuser trocken shows clear origins on the nose; dark slate minerality, classic herbal spice, lots of ripe fruit and delicate scents of mint, woodruff and green tea.

This multi-vintage wine has a dark ruby red colour. The nose is elegant with a charming bouquet of juicy berries, dark cherries and plums. The toasty aromas following extended maturation in oak are well integrated. On the palate, the wine has a well-balanced tannic structure and a silky texture.

Tasting notes - Expressive Riesling with aromas of green apple, lemon and hints of white peach. The palate is rich and beautifully balanced with a refreshing, dry and mouthwatering finish.

Tasting Note: Deep ruby red. On the nose, aromas of forest fruits are complemented by spicy notes. The flavours on the palate are round and concentrated, supported by firm tannins that indicate maturity and balance.

The 2016 gained huge praise having been awarded 100 points by Luis Gutierrez (Wine Advocate / Robertparker.com) and the 2017 has also been scored very highly getting 98 points, the top score from Luis for any wine coming from that vintage in Argentina.

*Prices in bond* Coleraine ’19 is both Beauty and the Beast, capturing a new depth and power, with an exquisite perfume, and spellbinding enchantment.  A marriage of grace, refinement, strength and power.
