Busy, busy, busy bees.
It’s been a time to focus on my real work and I haven’t had a chance to
add some of the ‘other’ interesting wines that have come my way.
It was a brilliant day in the sunshine. Picnic time, and the Dog Men put up the
perfect lunchtime accompaniment. It was
a working lunch, so the less the alcohol the better. And some rich and varied food needed a bit of
acid cut. And a comparison too!
J.J. Prum is the master of slate and steel, making the best
Wehlener wines and from the neighbouring villages. The 2009
Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett with a little richness and softer
body, with a touch of honeysuckle. The 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett
crisper, more pure with great clarity.
But also with a hint of complex reduction too. Both with the white florals, racy acidity and
the taste of slate and steely mouthfeel.
Still babies, but perfectly drinkable already.
