Thörle is a family domaine based in Saulheim in the Rheinhessen, and since 2006 it has been run by Christoph and his brother Johannes. The vineyards are managed organically, and the domaine is being taken in a biodynamic direction.
The wines that these two brothers conjure up promise maximum enjoyment. They have been highly praised by some well-known critics. We know that choosing between this awesome selection of first-class wines is not going to be an easy task, so we've just highlighted some of our most popular ones.

"This pinot noir masterpiece announces Rheinhessen’s arrival on the list of wine regions where this grape variety is capable of the highest sophistication. So deep and finely nuanced with ravishing sweetness that sweeps you off your feet. Then comes the enormously complex finish where the fine tannins build to a breathtaking crescendo. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." James Suckling, 99 Points.

Thörle Riesling Trocken Kalkstein
€24.95
A stunning German Riesling that will be remembered for decades. Seriously delicious and silky with great complexity! A long way from your Liebfraumich.This is described by James Suckling as ..."What a great nose this has, offering leesy complexity that mingles with great, citrus and Mirabelle aromas in a way that’s enticing and tantalizing. Serious concentration for a village wine, but no less importantly, everything fits together so neatly and, in spite of the depth, the citrusy finish has a delightfully light touch.
