Crozes-Hermitage
 
Named for the commune of Crozes and the smaller appellation of Hermitage that it surrounds, Crozes-Hermitage offers a diverse range of soil types and terroir within the Northern Rhone. It’s also home to some of the best values and most affordable reds the region had to offer.
 
The majority of the production are Syrah reds with a smattering of Marsanne / Roussanne white blends. Its wines tend to be more approachable in their youth than those from Hermitage, and far, far more affordable.

Gobelsburg

 
Schloss Gobelsburg is one of the oldest wineries in the Danube region of Austria. Its documented history dates back to 1171. It predates the signing of the Magna Carta by almost fifty years. Centuries of experience in the vineyards that surround the Gobelsburg castle by the Cistercian monks has led to intimate knowledge of the soils and microclimates. The meticulous care and concern are reflected in the precision and excellence of the modern wines.
 
In 1996, the Cistercian Monks of the Zwettl Monastery passed the winemaking role on to Michael Moosbrugger. The estate’s history of more 800 years of vineyard management heavily influences his craft today. Moosbrugger, recognizing this important place in history, maintains the traditions and practices that keep the wines so vibrant and powerful.

Lauer Sale 1-7-26

 

Peter Lauer’s Rieslings from the Saar aren’t just admired—they’re obsessed over. Few estates anywhere in Germany achieve this level of precision, tension, and sculpted finesse. These wines feel laser-etched, driven by crystalline acidity and an almost architectural sense of structure, yet they retain a remarkable elegance and purity. They’re wines that don’t shout; they cut straight through the noise with clarity and purpose, revealing layers of slate, citrus, herbs, and cool-toned fruit with breathtaking focus.

The Saar itself is part of the magic. Colder, steeper, and more wind-exposed than much of the Mosel, it produces wines that feel nervy and alive, with a distinctive mineral core that defines great bottles from this valley. But this same environment also means vulnerability, and the recent vintages have been especially challenging.

A Rare Window: 2018 Molitor Riesling On Sale 1-4-26

 

Few producers reward patience quite like Markus Molitor. His Mosel Rieslings are famously exacting in their youth—chiseled, electric, and unapologetically precise—but time is where they truly find their voice. The 2018 vintage, now seven years removed from harvest, sits at a fascinating crossroads: still vibrant and energetic, yet newly expressive, with layers that only emerge once the sharp edges of youth begin to soften.

At this stage, the wines move beyond primary fruit and into something more nuanced and complete. Citrus and orchard fruit deepen into preserved lemon, stone fruit skin, and subtle spice; slate and saline notes rise to the surface; textures grow more supple without ever losing tension. The acidity that once dominated now feels integrated, carrying the wine rather than leading it.

Dönnhoff

 
The Nahe is one of Germany’s most compelling wine regions. Combining the heft of the Rheingau with the elegance and minerality inherent in the Mosel, the region offers something no other can boast: winemakers Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff. Anyone who knows the wines knows that praise is well deserved.
 
Dönnhoff is one of our favorite German producers. The estate excels with both dry and off-dry wines, producing some of the top dozen Rieslings in nearly every vintage. Their privileged location in the Nahe, includes some of the finest and most geologically diverse vineyards in all of Germany.
 
Decanter notes that “the estate owns 25ha of vines, including plots in nine Grosse Lage vineyards – the highest quality classification as set out by the VDP,” a wealth of resources that few wineries in the world can draw from.
