✨ Technical Specifications
Averys of Bristol has a legendary history of sourcing exceptional wines from classic European regions. For their Fine Riesling, they turned to the sun-drenched Pfalz region in Germany, historically known as the 'Tuscany of Germany' due to its warm, mild climate and the protective shield of the Haardt mountains. This unique terroir allows the Riesling grapes to ripen fully, yielding a wine with generous stone fruit aromas, vibrant citrus, and a characteristic mineral backbone. The partnership between historic British merchant blending expertise and traditional German viticulture results in a beautifully balanced, expressive Riesling that honors both the Pfalz's rich winemaking heritage and Averys' centuries-old reputation for quality selection.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Bristol in 1793, Averys is one of the United Kingdom's oldest and most historic independent wine merchants and négociant houses. Throughout the twentieth century, under the visionary leadership of Ronald Avery and subsequently his son John Avery MW, the firm cemented an international reputation as an adventurous pioneer. Averys was among the very first British merchants to champion Bordeaux's Right Bank estates—introducing Château Pétrus to the UK market—and broke early ground importing nascent New World benchmarks from California and Australia. Operating as a négociant selector, Averys partners closely with family-owned domaines across classic European appellations including Champagne, Burgundy, the Loire, Pfalz, and Rioja. Across its diverse portfolio, the merchant prioritizes expressive varietal clarity, classic regional typicity, and balanced viticulture. Benchmark own-label releases like their Special Cuvée Brut Champagne, Fine White Burgundy, and Fine Riesling showcase Averys' enduring cellar heritage and palate for authentic terroir-driven wines.
