Discovering Wine Delights: Zinfandel and Riesling Highlights

Discovering Wine Delights: Zinfandel and Riesling Highlights

Mar 24, 2024 | Blog, I present to you

Sisters and brothers, it is with great honor and privilege that I present to you three selected wines from the wine exhibition in Gothenburg.

I am usually not a fan of wine labeled by famous people and tend to avoid it. However, after connecting with music artist Jill Johnson and learning about her sommelier background, I gained a deeper appreciation for her private label. It offers a variety that appears American-styled but ultimately delivers the famous Zinfandel taste.

As usual, a couple of Rieslings stand out, playing well in different areas. Perhaps the Riesling is still the master of grapes, and Germany perfects its creation. The Kallfelz Sensus Riesling Hochgewächs Trocken is a dry and elegant wine, while the Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling Spätlese offers sweet tones yet maintains a developed taste that is not too sweet.

Brothers and sisters, it’s with great privilege and honour I present to you ‘Lion’s Tooth of McLaren Vale Shiraz Riesling,’ created by winemaker Elena Brooks.

This wine is a tribute to the classic blend of Northern Rhône, combining the robust character of shiraz with the subtle freshness of riesling. Blending blue and green grape varieties, a common practice in Rhône where viognier is often used, Lion’s Tooth adopts this tradition with an Australian twist. The wine has been recognized for its quality, including receiving 94 points from James Halliday for the 2021 vintage, offering a unique taste experience for wine connoisseurs.

Let’s find time to enjoy the weekend now and drop the to-do list and all projects for some hours.
Recharging and boosting creativity can start new ideas and join us in a new co-op in the coming weeks at the next level. Welcome.

Sisters and brothers, it is with privilege and great honour that I present a selected triple from Gnarley Head.

With grapes from specially selected vineyards in Lodi and Monterey (California, USA), Gnarley lets us touch the coming start of the spring and enjoy the closing end of winter. We can feel the wind of change. This Chardonnay is full-bodied with bold flavours as we look back on the winter and let the Pinot Grigio boasts citrus blossom with Viognier in its rich fruit aromas when spring can hesitate.
