About the wine
This mouthwateringly intense Riesling is Urban & Eva's special gift to the foodies of the world
-
If we were picking one white wine to keep behind glass and crack open for dinner in a pinch… this would be it. A first-class German Riesling with the intensity and flavour to stand up to everything from creamy soups and salads, right the way through to a full-on pork roast.
-
To make it, Urban & Eva Kaufmann picked their very best grapes from carefully chosen sites in the Rheingau, which they knew would be bathed in sunlight all day long and provide pristine fruit with next-level oomph.
-
What they’ve created is a refined wine, with a spicy yet soft, almost silky, texture and classic, refreshing Riesling acidity. On the nose, you get zesty aromas of lemon and lime, with a delicate floral hint, which follows through on the palate with heaps of intensity and a mouthwatering finish. Yum, who's for seconds?

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Urban and Eva Kaufmann
-
Urban and Eva Kaufmann’s winemaking journey is like something out of the movies. When they first met in 2012, he was a rising star in the cheese world and she was the director at one of Germany’s biggest wine organisations, but they hit it off immediately. And within two years, they’d jumped head first into a brand new life…
-
Eva had had her heart set on becoming a winemaker for a while and Urban was quite the wine-lover himself, so between them they pooled all their savings to buy up a winery at the heart of Germany’s historic Rheingau wine region, which is famed for its exquisite Rieslings and high-quality local wines.
-
With Urban clattering around in the winery and Eva guiding by his side, they’ve already left quite the mark, converting their entire operation to biodynamic practices and swapping out old oak barrels for brand new stainless steel tanks - influenced by Urban’s cheesemaking past. They might be learning on the job, but they’ve already won heaps of praise from the experts, and now it’s your turn to get a taste of their top-class Rheingau wines.
