3 Dönnhoff (Nahe) Highly sought after and certainly one of the best dry German Riesling producers. These are some of the most justifiably fashionable and hardest-to-find Rieslings in the wine world and worth all the effort that it takes to latch on to a few bottles. The World s Greatest Wine Estates by Robert Parker. We fell in love with their dry Rieslings when we visited them in Did you know that over 90% of the Rieslings sold in Germany are dry?! Must try. Excellent with most entrees and also with our local cuisines. Refreshing, crisp and clean dry Riesling. Won several local awards! 1 Riesling trocken We have always believed that a great producer must make great entry level wines! This is one! 2 Tonschiefer Riesling trocken Actually a single vineyard dry Riesling from Oberhauser Listenberg. Quite a big step up in terms of ripeness and concentration. Tonschiefer refers to broken slate. 3 " " " " " Mid quality dry single vineyard Riesling. Riper, more intense. WA Very limited. New vineyard acquired by Donnhoff a few years ago vintage was quickly sold out. This is 1er Cru equivalent (one step below GG) if you will. Highly recommended. It's a stunning wine at this price. 5 Roxheimer Hollenpfad Hollenpfad literally means 'path to Hell!' because of the expression used by the harvest people who find the work up the steep red sandstone vineyard very hard. Delicate aroma yet intense. Elegance written all over... A stand out mineral wine when tasted along side the other 6 Felsenberg Riesling GG 2013/14 80 Donnhoff GGs.

4 Van Volxem (Saar) Purchased in 1999 by the scion of one of the wealthiest family in Germany - the Bitburger beer family who also owns Gerolsteiner mineral water. Roman Niewodniczanski aims to revive the reputation of German Riesling as the most expensive and sought after wines in the world like they did in pre World War I. Dry to Medium dry styled Riesling - the way German Rieslings used to be in the 19th century and early 20th century. The best of everything and most importantly lots of human efforts are employed here to pursue this aim. In a little over 10 years, Roman has made Van Volxem wines highly sought after in Germany (his wines sell out very fast!) and has expanded from 15 hectares to now over 60 hectares - one of the largest private vineyard owners in the Mosel. We love the 'basic' Saar Riesling and the superb value Alte Reben. Almost all his wines are dry. Don't miss out the Scharzhofberger too!

5 Zilliken (Saar) One of the top sweet German Riesling producers! Since 1742 but it was Ferdinand Geltz ( ) who built the reputation. In 1947, granddaughter of Ferdinand Geltz married Fritz Zilliken. Now managed by father and daughter team Hanno Zilliken and Dorothee. Located in the village of Saarburg, Saar (now collectively known as Mosel). Only 11 hectares (10ha Rausch Devonian slate and Diabase + 1ha Bockstein Devonian slate and quartz, both Grosse Lage). All vineyards are steep and south facing so manual harvesting. Annual production of only approx. 80,000 bottles, all estate bottled (Gutsabfullung). i.e. no purchased grapes even for their basic Butterfly! Wines are vinified in tradition al neutral Fuder (1000 litres oak casks). Zilliken has the deepest cellar in the Saar. Almost 100% humidity and around 11 degrees. Nearby springs. Their wines are famous for their delicacy and lightness yet with great longeivity! 1 Butterfly Riesling Medium dry. Zilliken's best selling Riesling. Yes, even this basic wine comes from declassified Grand Cru vineyards! So fresh and pure. Must try! The name Butterfly comes from this wine being light weighted, elagant and bright fruits - like a butterfly. GOLD at UOB- Tower Club Wine Awards Off dry. (drierer than Butterfly).

Huber also won Best Pinot Noir in Germany's highest circulation newspaper - Frankurter Allgemeine. Rated by Gault Millau German Wine Guide as 5 stars and highly respected by wine professionals and sommeliers in Germany. Huber came into the limelight when the famous French wine critic Michel Bettane mistook Huber's wine as an Armand Rousseau Chambertin when he tasted blind the wine among 30 other Grand Crus from Burgundy!

7 Meyer Näkel (Ahr) Top producer from the Ahr region in Germany. At 50 degrees latitude, Ahr is mainland Europe's northernmost limit for viticulture. So you bet it's cool! Cool climate is ideal for Pinot Noir because this allows the grape to slowly ripen and accumulate flavours. Moderate day time temperature because of the south facing slopes, slate soils and Ahr River and cool nights. Year after year at the VDP wine auction, Meyer Nakel's Spatburgunder fetch the highest price! 6 bott/ SGD No. Wine Vintage per unit Clearly above village quality level Pinot. Superb ripe but fresh fruits, 1 Spätburgunder G velvety tannins and elegance. Value buy! This GG (Grand Cru) site is literally called Sunny Mountain. Steep south facing slope. Medium-full bodied Pinot but maintains the 2 Neuenahrer Sonnenberg GG 3 Dernauer Pfarrwingert GG elegance and finesse that one expects from a fine Burgundy. Harmonious tannins and long finish. LIMITED AVAILABILITY! Meyer Näkel s pride and joy! Yield of 25hl/ha. Aromatics of cherries and ripe raspberries enveloped by a softly roasted aroma. Will only gain complexity with age.

8 Rudolf Fürst If you are after the silkiest, most Burgundy like, elegant and pure Pinot Noir, look no further than Rudolf Furst! Best Pinot producer from Franken region, Furst's Pinot are highly sought after in Germany. We love the Centgrafenberg! On par with the best Burg producers from Chambolle Musigny but a fraction of the price...but not for long so stock up! No wonder in blind tastings among wine pros (including MWs, MS and famous personality like Jancis Robinson) held in London and Hong Kong, Furst wines came in top 5 on both occasions! 6 bott/ SGD No. Wine Vintage per unit Entry level from Furst yet won GOLD at UOB-Tower Club Wine 1 Pinot Noir Tradition Awards Light bodied, refreshing red fruits.
