Schatzel Nierstein Riesling Kabinett 2018: Mineral Purity

Priscilla Nunes — Converted a Riesling hater

9/10

I always thought I didn't like Riesling because I assumed they were all sugary sweet. This one completely changed my mind. It's got a bit of sweetness sure but there's this chalky mineral backbone that balances everything out. Brought it to a dinner party and even my mate who only drinks red was impressed.

Grace Kim — Birthday treat that delivered

10/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and wow. The nose is gorgeous, loads of stone fruit and a bit of melon, almost tropical but not over the top. That mineral finish just goes on and on. At 8% you can have a couple of glasses without writing off the evening which is a massive bonus.

Marco Andretti — This stuff is dangerously drinkable

9/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. Only 8% ABV so I figured it'd be a lightweight but honestly it's got so much going on — really fresh apple and lemon flavours with this dry chalky thing at the end that keeps you sipping. Killed the bottle way too fast on a Tuesday night.
