Small And Small Riesling 2011
by Bill & Claudia Small

  • This wine is the perfect example of Angel funding and what it can do. We found Bill and Claudia, who make great wines. They showed us this beautiful little Riesling and we liked it so much we snapped it all up. Hence our Angels buy it for much less. Perfect.
  • Dry and crisp, but with bags of zippy, clean, lemony fresh fruit. Clean and refreshing, yet also rich and exotic. Heavenly.
  • This screams out for some delicious smoked salmon. A great wine to kick of the big lunch on Christmas day and get you all warmed up.

This is a lovely wine - bit pricey even with an angel discount but I find it difficult to resist!

Very good.

Nice acidity often so lacking in riesling but with floral notes and honey. Crisp and refreshing but also fragrant and mouth filling.

Will be buying more.

What is the matter with this wine? It is cloying and bears no resemblance to any Riesling I have ever drunk before. I feel I have made a big mistake buying this wine. Sorry. I really don't know now what to do with the remaining bottles. It was recommended to me on the back of the Gerwutztraminer which is really good. Don't be taken in! This cannot hold a candle to the Gewurtztraminer which I recommend with Chinese dishes like Mussels in Black Bean Sauce. This just tastes of alcohol and even anti-freeze. Do not buy!

This is a wonderfull, clean crisp white which, if you haven't already done so, you should try. I was never keen on Reisling but opened the first bottle last night will definitely be ordering more.
