Wine Type: Off-dry white

(2023) Just 5g/l of residual sugar in this Grand Cru from sandstone soils. Richly peachy with almond and yellow plum on the nose, the palate does show that sweetness, in a creamy and mouth-filling style, the generous nature of the acidity adding to the approachable style.

(2023) From limestone soils and with 6g/l of residual sugar, a touch of honey to the lemony and rip, slightly nutty apple aromas. Again a juiciness and raciness on the palate, plenty of sherbetty acidity cutting through those sweeter mid-palate flavours.

(2023) SWEET: A biodynamically certified wine from granite soils, this has 10.5g/l of residual sugar making it off-dry rather than sweet. Lovely rose petal and gentle patchouli fragrance, with lychee fruit. In the mouth the sweetness playes against a rich texture and concentration. Sweet, almost strawberry notes run into a pithy acidity, helping to balance.

(2023) I'm on record as saying that previous vintages of this are about the best of the de-alcoholised zero percent 'wines', and this 2021 reinforces that opinion. It's off dry and has a light, dilute character, but the pungency of the Muscat character makes it through aromatically and to an extent on the zippy palate, where fresh lemon is offset by a hint of sweetness.

(2022) With around 7.5g/l of residual sugar but full fruit ripeness and texture, I guess this could be described as being in the 'Alsace style', and bloomin' delicious it is too. From vines planted in 2006 and cropped low, it's a truly aromatic expression of Pinot Gris, honeysuckle and smoky mango swirling with nectarine. On the palate it is weighty and really quite dense, preserved lemon fruit and plenty of sweet, exotic flavours runnning into a fine core of refreshing acidity that extends the finish. It's a beauty, this.

(2022) Hot off the press is this single block 2022 Riesling, made in an approximate 'Kabinnet' style with 18g/l of residual sugar, so certainly off-dry. Very pure lime and lemon sherbet on the nose, but there's a core of green apple too. A hint of beeswax somewhere in there. That sherbetty/lemon sorbet character persists in the mouth, but a whack of acidity means the sweetness is swept away in a mouthwatering rush. The finishes balances fruit, that touches on peachy, with that core of acid and plenty of sweetness.

(2022) A familiar wine in eye-catching special packaging, this is the usual delightful blend of Moscatel and Gewürztraminer, but for every bottle sold Torres will fund the removal of the equivalent of 10 plastic bottles from the seas around the Mediterranean coast. Miguel Torres and his family are serious about ecology and sustainability, so enjoy this exotically-scented, off-dry white whilst helping do some good. As always the jasmine and peach of the nose are echoed on the palate, but the juicy citrus acid balances the little hint of sweetness very successfully. This is exclusive to Tesco, but the standard 2021 is available elsewhere too, and will be exactly the same stuff in the bottle. Watch the video for more information and food-matching suggestions.

(2022) Muehlforst is a liex-dit or vineyard plot. Very different from the Mosel example, very ripe with a tropical character, guava and very ripe peach and sweet melon. The palate feels off-dry, but loads of flavour and punch here, orange and such a lovely blast of vicacious grapefruity acid to finish.

(2022) Another of the great biodynamic practitioners of New Zealand, Millton's Te Arai vineyard is five kilometres from the sea, and experiences some Botrytis which may account for the 9.5g/l of residual sugar in this is off-dry wine. Fermentation and maturation take place in a combination of demi-muids (large 600-litre oak barrels) and stainless steel tanks. Burnished gold in colour, there's an open, and nutty character here, lots of wax and lanolin qualities, honeyed for sure, with fig and quince fruit. Glorious in the mouth - perhaps verging on medium-sweet, with toast and layers of sweet pear, baked apple and more tropical fruit, then a fine and bracing saltiness to the acids in the finish.

(2022) Made from old vines in the cool and foggy, coastal Casablanca Valley, this has an expressive nose of lychee and rose petals, very aromatic and floral, there's a geranium leaf nuance too. In the mouth, the wine is just off-dry, but it is textured and spicy, exotic and smoky, a terrific rendition of Gewurz that finishes with intense orange peel acidity and zest.
