I've been a big admirer of Bruno Sorg's wines since I first tasted them a few years ago. They have a delicacy and purity of fruit that runs through his entire range regardless of grape and Muscat, and their consistently high quality year on year is astounding. Production from his vineyards, which include vines in three Grand Cru sites, is tiny - just 5,000 cases - so we're lucky to have got hold of a few cases which have just arrived in-store.Though many of us know Alsace for its Gewurztraminer, it's Riesling that the locals aspire to make great run from so Sorg's perfumed, grapey Muscat 2009 (£17) is joined by two brilliant Rieslings - the young, fresh, limey Riesling 2009(£14.50) and the majestic Riesling Grand Cru Florimont 2005 (£21). Sorg's Grand Cru wines need at least four years in the bottle, so it's wonderful to be able to offer you something just coming into it's own! A full tasting note will follow, as soon as I've got my teeth into a bottle!
