Shop Back Vintages: Wine Aged 3-5 Years in Bottle

Blankenhorn Schliengen Chasselas Le Clocher 2019

At Blankenhorn, owner Martin Männer and cellar master Yvonne Männer are the kinds of perfectionists that German wine lovers adore: they’re obsessed in all the right ways with making sure each of their Baden wines has the right amount of time to mature in bottle before release. Not only time matters but also the vessel which is why this tight-knit family team uses large barrels holding up to 3,

Fritz Waßmer Schlossberg Staufen Chardonnay 2019

In 1998, Fritz Waßmer took a lifetime of family learning and, with a passion for the vines that was second nature, started his own winery in Bad Krozingen, Baden. Proudly self-taught in the intricacies of winemaking but with generations of viticultural knowledge in his bones, Fritz built on an affinity he felt for Pinot Noir and never looked back. His love for this iconic grape, one of the star v

Battenfeld-Spanier Frauenberg Riesling 2019

The dynamic husband-wife team of H. O. Spanier and CarolinSpanier-Gillot is the driving force behind the BattenfeldSpanier Estate. Their “secret sauce” is hidden deep beneath the soil of this outstanding winery located in Rheinhessen, namely layers of lime that add precise, vibrant minerality across the spectrum of their varietals: Riesling, Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), and Silvaner. Cellarma

Donnhoff Niederhauser Hermannshohle Goldkapsel Riesling Auslese 2019 375ml

Robert Parker, Jr's Wine Advocate: "The 2019 Riesling Auslese Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle is crystalline and flinty on the precise, ethereal and bright nose that represents the terroir of the Hermannshöhle beautifully and irresistibly. On the palate, this is a highly finessed, filigreed, playful and delicate Auslese with stimulating piquancy and salinity on the weightless and frisky but elegant

Kruger-Rumpf Estate Riesling 2019

James Suckling: "Plenty of citrusy charm and attractive balance of juicy fruit and crisp, slightly sappy acidity make this just off-dry estate riesling easy to enjoy. Drink now." Sept 2020 Winery: "The Kruger-Rumpf winery from Münster-Sarsheim is one of the best wineries in Germany according to the Gault & Millau, Falstaff, Vinum and Eichelmann wine guides. The characterful wines with an unmi

Donnhoff Niederhauser Hermannshohle Goldkapsel Riesling Auslese 2018 - 375ml

Antonio Galloni's Vinous: "Like its Brücke counterpart, this Auslese reflects genuinely botrytis-free grapes, said Dönnhoff, but ones that were too numerous and too high in sugar to use elsewhere, “and certainly not in the Grosses Gewächs, which would then have ended up with 14% alcohol.” Sea breeze on the nose intimates the sweet-saline savor of raw scallop that emerges on this wine’s lu

Urban Mosel Riesling 2018

Wine & Spirits: "For this négociant bottling, Nik Weis sources the fruit from his neighbors in Mehring, where the slopes are steep and covered in blue slate. He gives the fruit a short soak before pressing, hoping to extract extra aroma and flavor, then vinifies the wine entirely in stainless steel. In 2018, that process yielded a pretty riesling, full in texture yet brisk and fresh, with a

Castell 6 Apriles Anno 1659 Silvaner 2017

There are not many wineries in the world that can trace the owner’s roots in the area back to 1057, but Castell can proudly make that claim. With the first mention of vineyards dating back to 1224 and with documented plantings dating to 1266, Castell has been at the forefront of winemaking in Franken for over 745 years. Castell planted the first Silvaner “Austrian” cuttings in 1659. The appr

Fritz Waßmer Grauer Burgunder 'R' 2017

Geil 2017 Bechtheimer Scheurebe Kabinett - White Wine

White Wine by Geil from German, Germany. A tangy tropical Scheu, none too sweet and with a good acid tooth; spearmint and ginger and lemon zest; a zingy exotic wine with a surprising amount of tension.

Freiherr von Gleichenstein 2016 Grauer Burgunder Hofgarten Trocken - Pinot Gris/Grigio White Wine

White Wine by Freiherr von Gleichenstein from German, Germany. This refreshing wine has fruity aromas of ripe sweet melons and pears, especially on the nose. The palate is supple and round with a distinctive minerality. The finish leaves a pleasant stimulating bitter touch. It is an uncomplicated wine that brings carefree drinking pleasure with it.

Bercher 2016 Weissburgunder Burkheimer - Pinot Blanc White Wine

White Wine by Bercher from German, Germany. Light gold-yellow with green reflections, this wine offers fresh aromas of herbs and hay. On the palate, it is juicy, powerful, long-lasting and tart with a resplendent finish. Great with fish and chicken dishes.

Selbach Oster 2016 Pinot Blanc - White Wine

White Wine by Selbach Oster from German, Germany. Uncanny and delicious. This vintage is done in a new 2,000-liter cask, with a tiny dose of Riesling to give it some yin; it's a friend-making wine, yummy and varietal; a bit woodsier than the last couple vintages, and perhaps a little less overtly slatey, but it's also chummier. Hard to imagine a fish chowdah without this bad boy to wash it down.

Weingut Gunther Steinmetz 2016 Piesporter Treppchen Riesling - White Wine

White Wine by Weingut Gunther Steinmetz from German, Germany. Heavily weathered silver-gray slate floor. A 90-year old terrace plot of ungrafted vines. Delicate and multifaceted. Yellow fruits, very ripe yellow pears, violets, lilacs, acacia honey and steel construction. So inaccessible steep, machinery is impossible.

Gut Hermannsberg Hermannsberg GG Reserve Riesling 2016

"Dogma isn't our thing" is the motto of Gut Hermannsberg. In the vineyard, they consider the ecosystem with every move they make, mindful that it is the key ingredient to the unique quality of their wines. In the cellar, the team likes to step back from the winemaking process letting time take care of the important things. Riesling is the great love at Gut Hermannsberg and the wines are treated

Von Winning 2019 Pfalz Pinor Noir Rose - Rosé Rosé Wine

Rosé Wine by Von Winning from German, Germany. The 2019 Von Winning Spatburgunder Rose is mainly made from Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested in order to make Rose and the wine is not a by-product of red wine making. Partly barrel fermented, this Rose is fresh and fruitdriven, but also well-structured and complex.

Villa Wolf 2019 Pfalz Pinot Noir Rose - Rosé Rosé Wine

Rosé Wine by Villa Wolf from German, Germany. The Pfalz is a very warm and sunny region, often called the Tuscany of Germany, so all of the Pinot varieties do well here. The Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rose is a true rose, made with a brief maceration before pressing to extract color. It is light and refreshing, with deliciously bright berry and fruit flavors and a clean, zippy finish. It's perfect for

Kruger-Rumpf 2018 Nahe Spatburgunder Rose Trocken - Rosé Rosé Wine

Rosé Wine by Kruger-Rumpf from German, Germany. Perfectly balanced Pinot Noir rose, grown on loamy, richer soils. Great Pinot Noir flavor in the mid palate, cranberry, and crisp acidity. Wonderful structure and drinkability!

Maximin Grunhauser 2016 Mosel Riesling Brut Sekt - Champagne & Sparkling

Vintage by Maximin Grunhauser from German, Germany. The Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Sekt Brut is rare, as expensive as Champagne, and well worth the investment. 100% Riesling produced using the traditional methode champenoise. The wine spends only six months on the lees so it picks up some yeastiness and body without sacrificing the delicate Riesling fruit. Memorable aromas and flavors of crushed
