Fritz’s Riesling, 2016 ABOUT THE WINE There’s arguably no better place for Riesling, Germany’s signature white wine, than Gunderloch, a 125-year-old estate that has earned three 100-point scores from Wine Spectator. Those Rieslings were made by the late Fritz Hasselbach, who married the Gunderloch founder’s great-great-granddaughter in 1979. Their son, Johannes, now runs Gunderloch, making every style of Riesling, from ultra-sweet to bone-dry. This lively, subtly sweet version is the perfect introduction to the grape. DID YOU KNOW? The most prized Rieslings are the ultra-sweet wines known as trockenbeerenauslesen (TBAs for short), or “dried berry selection.” Drying the grapes concentrates their sugar content. ABOUT THE REGION Rheinhessen, in southwest Germany, is the country’s largest wine region, with 65,000 acres of vines. Rheinhessen was infamous for cheap, oft-maligned whites (such as Blue Nun), but Rheinhessen is a star now. The best wines come from the so-called Red Slope, a stretch of steep, hillside vineyards along the Rhine River that have red-slate soil. Rheinhessen, Germany AT A GLANCE Variety: Riesling Oak: Stainless steel (no oak) Vintage: 2016 Alcohol: 11% Vineyard: Various Farming: Conventional To learn more about this wine, visit blueapron.com/wines/202 TASTING NOTES Fritz’s Riesling is a textbook off-dry German Riesling: The grape’s signature citrus and tropical-fruit flavors are carried by a bracing zestiness and a slight sweetness. It’s perfectly balanced and mouthwateringly juicy. 1) Look at the Color Pale straw 2) Swirl & Smell Orange Pineapple Honeysuckle Baked apple marmalade 3) Taste & Savor Low High Tannins Drying element TASTING TIP Sweetness Amount of sugar Riesling is one of the wine world’s beloved aromatic whites. Body Sniff for scents of honeysuckle, Viscosity or weight orange blossom or other flowers, Acidity like jasmine. Tingling crispness 4) Pair and enjoy! Match this wine’s symbol to a Blue Apron Meal These vibrant wines often taste of passion fruit or citrus, sometimes accented with an herbaceous note. A fruity-zesty balance, a signature of Sauvignon Blanc, is what makes these Zesty & wines delicious with goat cheese (a staple pairing in France’s Tropical Loire Valley); the wine makes the cheese taste creamier. More classic pairings: Asparagus quiche | Fish & chips | Seared scallops.

It ripens late so cool nights are essential for retaining balance Momma and papa Parentage: DNA analysis says that • An aromatic grape with high Gouais Blanc was a parent. acidity Uncommon today, but was a popular • Grows in cool regions wine among the peasants during the • Shows Terroir: sense of place middle ages. The other parent could have been a cross of wild vines and Traminer. Riesling flavors and aromas: lychee, honey, apricot, green apples, grapefruit, peach, goose- berry, grass, candle wax, petrol and blooming flowers. Aging Rieslings can age due to the high acidity. Some German Rieslings with higher sugar levels are best for cellaring. Typically they age for 5-15 years, 10-20 years for semi sweet and 10-30 plus years for sweet Rieslings Some Rieslings have aged 100 plus years. Likes and Dislikes: Many Germans prefer the young fruity Rieslings. Other consumers prefer aged They get a petrol note similar to tires, rubber or kerosene.

Accepted 19.03.2018) SUMMARY Little is known about the chemical and sensory characteristics of natural sweet wines obtained by different grape dehydration processes. The main aim of this work is to characterise several natural sweet wines, in order to understand the influence of grape dehydration on the chemical and sensory profile of those wines. First, conventional oenological parameters and low molecular weight phenolic compounds have been determined. Next, sensory descriptive analysis was performed on individual samples based on citation frequencies for aroma attributes and conventional intensity scores for taste and mouth-feel properties. Low molecular weight phenolic compounds and acidity were found in a lower concentration in most wines from off-vine dried grapes. Late harvest wine presented higher amounts of phenolics. White wines showed higher sensory and chemical acidity.

Bullion Cellars and the G4 ... Wines from 4 Different Countries
BULLION 14C www.bullioncellars.com.au Bullion Cellars and the G4 ... Wines from 4 different countries dry, but if I told you the residual sugar is 9.0 g/l this would be shockingly sweet, if I did not mention that the acid is 9.3g/l – balancing it all out. The first red wine is from the Rhone valley and the village of Lirac - 2011 Chateau Mont Redon Lirac. This is the second time a sommelier has chosen this wine but when Kim suggested the 2011 vintage we could not wait to include it in the G4. Lirac is one of the last and best-kept secrets in the Rhone Valley. This Southern Rhone region has for years been over shadowed by the likes of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas. Great news for us because Lirac is still ridiculously good value. What also got us excited about this wine is the embossed bottle Mont Redon is now using. This looks just beautiful and is quite expensive to implement, so it shows the faith the winery has in the wine and region. It is a Grenache based wine that is a joy to drink, and looks bloody good too. Australian Shiraz is going through a significant change of late. It is very similar We have not done this for a while. Normally we have a few wines from the to what has happened to Chardonnay. (It is now almost impossible to find a same country, but not this time. Australia, Germany, France and Spain. full bodied, heavily wooded Chardonnay as the modern style is more lean We are calling this our “G4 Wine Selection” in recognition of the G20 and crisp).
