About the Wine: At the first level, Rheingau Riesling, the easiest to pronounce, is an attractive introduction. It is a blend from different vineyards, all estate owned. As with other wines in the collection it makes an excellent aperitif but is also a fabulous complement to food, notably awkward ingredients, smoked dishes and delicate spice – also a perfect lunchtime wine, being lowish in alcohol.

About the Estate: The privately-owned German wine estate, Schloss Schönborn, has some 650 years of history and experience under its belt, during which time the Schönborn family has amassed some spectacular sites. The philosophy which underpins the Schloss Schönborn estate, in all it does, is the pursuit of quality.

The Schönborn family were founder members of the Verband Deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitätsweingüter (VDP), the Association of German Quality Wine Estates. The issue of quality is important. It is a sad but undeniable fact that many people deny themselves some of the world’s finest wines – erroneously believing that all German wine is sweet and invariably nasty. Good German wine is phenomenal and fine Riesling exquisite. One of the world’s most noble varieties, it is stunning in youth and ages well. The Schloss Schönborn team are very diligent in both pursuing excellence and communicating it.
