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 2017 Lorcher Krone Riesling Trocken is beautifully clear, precise and crunchy on the deep, intense and flinty/stony nose with its ripe, dense fruit and discreet botrytis aromas. Pure and structured on the palate, with a lot of salinity but also concentrated and juicy fruit, this is a creamy-textured but also piquant and rather warmer style of Lorch Riesling. That's because the subsoil is limestone, and the slate layer is only two meters. The persistent finish is salty, very fine and elegant.

From a site whose quartzite-laced slate is – exceptionally for this Rheingau sector – underlain by active lime-rich clay, comes a wine that definitely exhibits charred and chalky elements as well as an enhanced sense of cut and energy (putting me a bit in mind of how Schlossberg behaves among Zeltingen’s trio of Einzellagen). Pit-inflected white peach is laced with bittersweet, musky iris perfume both in the nose and on the polished and expansive palate. Seductive succulence of fruit goes hand in hand with utmost transparency to mineral nuances in a vibrantly-sustained finish, where the wine’s piquancy is perfectly placed to enhance its invigorating effect. Here is a case where relatively modest acidity and elevated pH that Fricke says are characteristic for this site (I would have guessed the opposite given its soil make-up) don’t in any way preclude animation and consumate refreshment. “In the past,” she says “I made Spätlese from the Krone and it never really tasted good. Well, no wonder: Krone doesn’t promote the acidity necessary to push back against sweetness, and there was no vibrancy.”
