In a week that we couldn't get Darren to shut up about his recent trip to the German Rhineland, we had a red from the Ahr Valley and a White from the Rheingau - both from historic estates. We really could not shut him up.

Wine 1 is a Schloss Johannisberg 2021 Silberback Rheingau Riesling GG (Dry). Founded in 1720 on vineyards originally planted in 817, they are the oldest known Riesling wine estate in the world, and the birthplace of Spatlese Riesling!

Wine 2 is a Mayschoss Altenahr 2020 Mayschosser Mönchberg Ahr-Spätburgunder trocken. Founded 1868, they are the oldest winegrowers cooperative in the world!
