1976 Weingut der Stadt Frankfurt a. Main Hochheimer Domdechaney Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese - Germany, Rheingau
Good freshness and plenty of style on the nose - there is apricot, pineapple, pear and peach along with dense honey and caramel. The palate is lovely, with the acidity really driving and lifting the wine into a long finish. I do feel like this wine was on the cusp of brilliance and others at the table that have had another bottle indicated that the previous bottle had more …

It's a very satisfying name to type, is Mt Toolleen. I don't know much about the outfit but they seem to make wines from a range of different regions - Eden Valley riesling, Barossa shiraz, Heathcote shiraz, Adelaide Hills chardonnay etc. This release is particularly good value. Make was 550 dozen.

*** RIESLING ***
Xabregas Estate Riesling 2011 : Very ripe and floral aromas, ripe stone fruits, tropical, quince. Rose water. Has a sweet tinge, mango skin-like appeal. Higher RS here it seems, some judicious botrytis? oily/ juicy, soft acidity, great length and intensity, tangy citrus acidity to close, brisk clip to finish. Soft mid-palate, gentle, slightly too ripe feel, but you get past it. Chalky phenolic bite neat to see. 92 points

…Peter Lehmann Margaret Semillon (£15) - was equally nice. If the RIesling was all about limes, this was about lemons! Initially a bit of peachy fruit and then with a clean, minerally and lime aroma coming through. Some milky elements coming out, giving a bit of roundness and depth, but then the palate has lemon galore, lots of fresh lemon juice but with that creamier texture - almost like tart lemon curd! Lots of clean fruit, and with a chalky element and a waxy texture on the finish. …

Fenn Valley Vineyards Edelzwicker ( Riesling and Traminette blend) was another nice wine from the Wolverine State. The Midwest was also represented by other Michigan wineries …

Nose has a tinge of petrol and overripe white fruit, but gives way to a light and golden, medium-dry wine. Low acidity and a round mouthfeel, with a lingering yellow apple flavor on the palate.

The key to success for regional wine is not so much about quality or even pricing. It's about producing wine that reflects the place where it is made. Regional wine will never be successful if it's nothing more than a knockoff what's being done elsewhere -- and where it's being done better, as well.
That's why the best regional wine has a sense of terroir , whether it's a New York riesling, a Missouri norton, or a Virginia viognier. The top producers …
