2023 RIESLING Manni Nössing, Lea & Sandeman

RIESLING

2024 Manni Nössing

Grapes Riesling
Colour White
Origin Italy, Alto Adige
ABV 11.50%

Beautiful expression of this amazing terroir, powerful with a subtle intensity. The nose is youthful and deep with ripe lime citrus, some floral touches but then a mineral drive. In the mouth this wine immediately hits you with intense wet stone, citrus and just a hint of kerosene, all wrapped in a balanced acidity. It is a tightly wound, senses grabbing delight that will age seamlessly for a good decade or so. L&S (Oct 2025)

Manni Nössing

As Ian d'Agata writes: 'Manni Nössing is one of Italy’s most talented winemakers. In fact, all his wines are so good that it’s virtually impossible to pick the best of the lot, or even a favourite.'

We could not agree more. Manni is a charming, unassuming man crafting simply outstanding wines in this beautiful corner of north eastern Italy. The Eisackthal Valley (German Name) or Valle Isarcois (as its known in Italian) is a small tract of the Alto Adige that feels deeply Alpine, Germanic even - it is a mesmorising scenery, completely breathtaking to be in. Beautifully mountainous with green high-pastures, craggy clifftops adorned with isolated monasteries and small patches of vines, neatly ordered and hugging the slopes in small patches, dotted throughout the valley. There is a coming together of cultures here - in the school in Bressanone the first language is German and all the signs are written in both languages. Yet the wines here have a lovely, northern Italian purity. A limpid, crystalline quality. Bright, pure and yet with sensational texture and depth.

The DOC is small - running the length of the valley, just 40 km and made up of nearly 400 hectares under vine. Only white varieties are currently permitted, with Sylvaner, Kerner and Riesling featuring widely. Manni Nossing is farming just 6 hectares and is at the forefront of a new generation of winemakers - who's families historically sold their fruit to the big producers like Abbazia di Novacella, but now make their own wines. Since 2000 Manni has bottled his own wines and is fanatical about expressing the freshness of the terroir and is determined to make wines with huge drinkability - he finds it sad that some people are still trying to make fuller, more 'silicon coated' wines here - 'non per me grazie!'

These are fascinating, powerfully driven wines chiselled and focused - simply so moreish. Hand-crafted artisan winemaking with huge appeal we cannot recommend these wines highly enough.

The Global Riesling Tour: A Masterclass in the World's Finest White Grape
As we celebrate International Riesling Day, it is worth remembering a sentiment famously shared by wine critic Jancis Robinson: that Riesling could quite easily claim to be the finest white grape variety in the world.
Far from being confined to the sweet, traditional styles of the past, Riesling is an incredibly versatile, global chameleon. It is a grape that thrives in extremity, producing brilliant, bone-dry wines everywhere from the steep slate banks of Germany to the rugged hills of Australia.
To showcase this unmatched ability to transmit the precise characteristics of a vineyard, we have curated a 6-bottle mixed case that tours the historic Old World heartlands of the grape, alongside a few carefully chosen New World and global counterparts.
What's Inside the Mixed Case:
2023 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett, Weingut Lehnert-Veit (Mosel, Germany): To drink this is to taste history. The family has been growing vines in the Mosel since 1653, and today, the 10th generation works the famed quartzite and slate soils of the 'Grosse Lage' Goldtröpfchen.
2023 Riesling Trocken, Weingut Braunewell (Rheinhessen, Germany): The Braunewell family has been making wine in Rheinhessen for over 300 years. This bone-dry, thirst-quenching expression crackles with citrus energy and intense minerality.
2023 Riesling, Domaine Marcel Deiss (Alsace, France): A textbook Alsace Riesling from a contrarian genius. Jean-Michel Deiss continues to prove why his organic field blends are some of the most compelling white wines on earth, offering notes of mandarin and pink grapefruit.
2024 Riesling, Tim Smith Wines (Eden Valley, Australia): A former cellar hand who fell in love with wine in the Rhône, Tim now crafts tiny batches of Riesling from the high country of the Eden Valley.
2024 Riesling, Manni Nössing (Alto Adige, Italy): From the deeply Alpine Eisackthal Valley in northern Italy, Manni produces just 6 hectares of crystalline, wet-stone-scented Riesling, firmly rejecting the heavy styles of his neighbours.
2023 Riesling, Moya Meaker (Elgin, South Africa): Made to pair perfectly with Japanese cuisine, this highly-rated cool-climate Riesling delivers sweet and sour flavours of Granny Smith apples and a beautifully chiselled, focused finish.
This case is designed for discovery and is a true masterclass in terroir. At under £125, it is an excellent opportunity to stock the fridge with serious, precise white wines.
