Feinherb

While there is no strict definition, nor is it legally defined within German wine law, many growers use Feinherb to indicate quality wines that are off-dry. Today it is commonly used in place of the less popular designation ‘halbtrocken’.

Feinherb is a traditional German term that indicates quality. It has been permitted on German wine labels since 2000 but is actually part of an older set of terms used to describe the sweetness and quality of German Rieslings. While there is no strict definition, nor is it legally defined within German wine law, many growers use it for quality wines that are off-dry. Feinherb is often used in place of the less popular traditional designation ‘halbtrocken’, as well as for wines that are slightly sweeter than regulations dictate for halbtrocken wines.

Feeling Thirsty?

Dhillon by Bindi Col Mountain Grenache Rosé 2021

Grenache | Victoria, Australia

Rosé you say! The delicious 2020 came and went in a flash, thankfully we made more in 2021. This wine sees a few hours skin contact while being pressed, ferments without the addition of yeast to dryness in old French barrels and spends six months maturing on yeast lees.

It balances the line of having enough texture and flavour without having too muc

David Duband Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru ‘Clos Sorbé’ 2018

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, France

‘A fresh, cool and more elegant array is comprised by notes of both red and dark pinot fruit along with background floral and earth suggestions. The succulent, round and delicious middle weight flavors are finer if less powerful, all wrapped in a lingering finish that progressively tightens up as it sits on the palate to the point that it becomes quite compact. This will definitely need a few years to unwind. Drink 2028+.’ Burghound.com January 2020.

Vietti Barolo Riserva ‘Villero’ 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Vietti's Riserva 'Villero' is not made every year. Like all Barolo Riserva's it is matured for a few extra years before release. Vietti's 2013 Barolo Riserva Villero is a showstopper. Wow! dense, powerful and richly constituted, the Villero captivates from the very first taste. Smoke, scorched earth, gravel, cured meats and black cherry are some of the many notes that inform this decidedly somber, brooding Barolo. The interplay of fruit density and structure is just captivating. Time in the glas

“The 2019 Rully is a great success, offering up an expressive bouquet of raspberries and plums. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and succulent, its pure and nicely concentrated core of fruit is framed by succulent acids.” William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 Points  The full potential of Mercurey and Rully reds is yet to be seen. Like all of Burgundy these two villages are evolving. We're seeing money from a couple of the big boys helping raise the bar. The little guys, farmers w
