Schatzel Nierstein Riesling Kabinett 2018: Mineral Purity

Emily Thomas — Great with fish and chips honestly

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered it on a whim because I've been trying to get into German whites. Really refreshing, not as sweet as I expected from a Riesling. Had it with cod and it was perfect. The peachy finish stuck around ages. Would order again but probably wouldn't pay shop price for it at home.

Kai Oliveira — 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.

Astrid Nilsen — Lovely but not cheap

8/10

Really nice Riesling, proper clean and zippy with green apple and lemon. The finish has this chalky dryness I wasn't expecting which I liked a lot. £33.50 is a bit steep though — I'd buy it again for a special occasion but not as a regular weeknight bottle.
