Villa Wolf Dry Riesling 2024

This dry Riesling from the Pfalz is a steal. Forget the overly-sweet reputation of German wines - this is all about juicy stone fruit, a zesty citrus kick, and a slate-like minerality that carries through to the long finish. Made by the famed Ernst Loosen, the fruit is expertly handled to preserve freshness. Expect a dry, vibrant character that bursts with flavour yet has a lightness perfect for those who want something a bit different. Proof that German Riesling deserves a place on your table.

Wonderfully refreshing, this pairs nicely with seafood - think scallops or a simple plate of calamari - and it's a pleasure to drink anytime.

Villa Wolf is located near the picturesque town of Wachenheim in southern Germany and was acquired by the renowned Ernst Loosen in 1996, who set about revitalising it, bringing his wealth of expertise down from the Mosel to the Pfalz. This part of the country is one of the warmest, driest and sunniest regions, and well suited to making wines that complement and contrast with Loosen's fruitier Mosel Rieslings. Patrick Moellendorf heads up operations here and has overseen the estate's emergence as a reliable producer of a range of German and international varieties.
