White Wine by Trimbach from Alsace, France - regions. This famous Riesling comes from the choice slopes of Ribeauville overlooking the Trimbach winery. The exposure is south and southeast. The vines' high average age of some 30 years ensures low yields and concentrated fruit. The clay-limestone soil contains a high proportion of fossil-flecked muschel-kalk, which bangs out all that is best in the Riesling. Cuvee Frederic Emile is made solely frm very ripe grapes, picked selectively at the end of the harvest. Dry and firmly-structured, but very fruity, this multifaceted wine owes its great depth of flavour to the combination of Riesling grapes with ideal soil. After a few years in bottle it reveals a fascinating mineral nuance. This long-lived Riesling bears the name of our great ancestor, Frederic Emile Trimbach. It is prized by connoisseurs for its breed and finesse.

White Wine by Ch. Ste. Michelle from Columbia Valley, Washington. Eroica is the result of a special partnership of German and American winemakers to craft an extraordinary Riesling from Washington State grapes.

Eroica reflects not only its variety and site, but also its heritage: bold and forward from its Washington roots, elegant and refined from German inspiration.

White Wine by d'Arenberg from McLaren Vale, Australia. Keen to produce d'Arenberg's first white in the late 1950's, d'Arry Osborn needed no convincing that it should be made from Riesling. Inspired by his friend and neighbor, Cud Kay of Amery Vineyards, d'Arry finally released d'Arenberg's first vintage of Riesling in the late 1960's. Another neighbor, Jack Neil, inadvertently helped d'Arry to decide in which years it was best to make d'Arenberg's Riesling. The Neil's dam runs up against d'Arenberg's Riesling block and a dry summer always meant a Dry Dam, which results in concentrated Riesling grapes brimming with flavor and well balanced acidity. It was not long before d'Arry discovered that the best Rieslings were Dry Dam Rieslings. The Dry Dam's young pale to medium straw color is often permeated with remarkable green tinges. It attacks the senses with ripe, spicy cinnamon, candied fruit and lychee qualities overlaid with lime, citrus blossom and almost perfumed rose-petal aromas. The young Dry Dam is medium bodied with lime and lemon flavors initially, followed by tropical pineapple and pear flavors. The rich, soft, juicy mouthfeel finishes with fresh crisp acidity. Over time the color will take on a deeper golden appearance and the fruit intensity will develop into a richer honeysuckle, orange peel, glace fruit and tea aromas.
