Manfred Ing and his team at Querciabella presented a terrific set of wines. The move towards greater energy and vibrancy that started a handful of years ago is evident. It’s hard to know where to start, as all of these wines are deserving of a mention. The Mongrana is a superb value, while at the top end, the 2016 Camartina really dazzles. But if I were going to start out with just one wine to explore the estate, it would be the Chianti Classico, a model of understatement and elegance.

2018 Querciabella Batàr IGT
€ 99,00 NO VAT (private collection)
The 2018 Batàr is perfumed and gracious, with lovely orchard fruit, chamomile and floral notes that lift effortlessly from the glass. A wine of total precision and nuance, the 2018 is simply exquisite today. Stylistically it is a bit more perfumed and lighter than is the norm.

€ 18,90 INC. VAT As with a number of Müllen Wines, the aromatics and flavors here are quite distinctive and unusual, but also satisfying. Purple plum, mango, mirabelle, golden beet, moss and wet stone serve for a pronounced sense of ripeness allied to subtle earthiness and herbacity. The feel is creamy, which enhances the soothing impression delivered on a lingering finish kissed by wet stone and wood smoke.Add to cart -
€ 26,30 NO VAT (private collection) The floral honey and spice aromas add a whole extra dimension to this incredibly concentrated and elegant dry riesling. Almost overwhelming depth of Mandarin orange and Amalfi lemon character. How can it be supernaturally expressive and have just 11.5% alcohol? From three small vineyard parcels, all around 100 years oldAdd to cart -

The 2021 Gewurztraminer Furstentum Grand Cru opens with peach compote and trails vestiges of passion fruit. The palate is sweet with Mirabelle jelly, almost creamy. This seems to have an internal combustion engine putting out peach, puffing away, letting out bursts of lemon and rose, but coming to concentrated, orange zest and peach skin finish that is just so taut and bright. The 47 g/L of residual sweetness is a fact, and the wine itself is alchemy. I have to borrow Catherine Faller’s architectural simile, noting that this wine "starts Baroque but finishes Gothic."

€ 73,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Pinots Furstentum Grand Cru is made from about 60% Pinot Gris; the rest is from an adjoining block that is a field blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois; all are co-fermented and aged in small barrels with 20% new oak. The vines are around 40 years old. The nose is vivid with green and yellow pear alongside fresh, ripe lemon - all embraced by a subtle creaminess of oak. The fine texture reminds of citrus pith; while the body is generous and concentrated, there is freshness. (Bone-dry)
