How Pre-Arrival Works

These wines are currently on the way to Thatcher’s Wine. We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer. Utilizing this method allows us to offer some amazing wines and gives you the opportunity to secure them earlier. Upon arrival at TWC you will receive a notification and we will ship the wines to you.

The 2016 Rheingau Riesling Kiedrich Gräfenberg Trockenbeerenauslese is super flinty and precise on the nose. Very sweet and refined, with a salty purity and piquancy, this is a concentrated and sweet (254 grams of residual sugar) but highly delicate TBA with a crystalline texture and a great finish. Tasted in October 2017.

I may by now seem notorious for my goading of Gräfenberg with the successes of its sibling Turmberg (only reintroduced as an official vineyard designation in 2006); and a wine from Weil’s signature vineyard has seldom had more of a challenge from its Turmberg counterpart than does this one. A nose of candied lime and grapefruit rinds also anticipates the welcome surge of bright fresh citrus juiciness that serves to balance the otherwise candied and almost syrupy impression on a viscous, creamy palate. There isn’t the dazzling diversity here, the floral perfume or herbal essences of the corresponding Turmberg. But as Weil insists, this represents very early days, and a Gräfenberg Riesling – much less a T.B.A. – isn’t supposed to tip its hand more than a little bit at this stage. What this elixir does already inform the lucky taster is that it has stored-up an amazing amount of vinous energy. The finish is so vibrantly penetrating, so palate- and throat-saturating, not to mention so concentrated in its amalgam of confitured, candied and fresh citrus fruits, that it sends shivers down my spine. (Release price referenced here is for 375 ml.)
