White wine simply goes better on a hot summer evening.

The Rebholz 2015 Riesling Ganz Horn Großes Gewächs is an amazing wine, with its freshness, acidity and juiciness it matches perfect to the hot summer day. It has powdered sugar, apricot, peach, a medium- to full-body, balance, density and spiciness. You can't stop drinking this wine. 19.5/20 points.

The Emrich-Schönleber 2017 Monzinger Halenberg Riesling R is a special edition which stays longer in the cask and gives additional complexity and elegance. It has blossoms, exotic fruits like Papaya and Mango, powederer sugar, a medium- to full-body, a long finish and is mineral and spicy. 19.3/20 points.

The Knoll 2015 Grüner Veltliner Vinothekfüllung needs aeration and is in good hands in the decanter for minimum 2 hours. It has powdered sugar and spices, a medium-body, balance, a medium long finish and is structured and dense with a lot of glycerine. 18.5/20 points.

One of the famous white wines of the Rhone is the Chateau de Beaucastel 2017 Roussanne Vieilles Vignes. In our experience, it must be drunk young. It needs aeration in the decanter and has floor wax, blossoms, marzipan, bacon, spices, a full-body, spices, density, a long finish and complexity. 19.3/20 points.

Forget everything some tasters say about residual sweet wine. In fact Rieslings with residual sugar are among the most interesting wines in the world, especially Kabinett and Spätlese from the Mosel. These wines have a perfect interplay of sweetness and acidity, low alcohol and lots of fruit. So, the Witwe Dr. Thanisch 2015 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett was the first empty bottle this evening. The wine has powdered sugar and a lot of exotic fruits, a medium-body, the perfect sweet-acidity-interplay with a light sweetness, a medium long finish and a great juiciness. Only 8% alcohol! 19.3/20 points.
