Mosel, Germany
Pours a surprisingly deep yellow. Nose offers plenty of ripe golden fruit. Palate entry medium sweet and seemingly a bit simple.
Day two paired with German brats braised in caramelized onions/carrots and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut completely changes this wine converting the sweetness to a fresh acid and the flavor profile to an almond tinged white cherry and plum. Very, very interesting food and wine pairing.
Try this with picked/fermented foods as umeshu, kimchi, sauerkraut etc for an interesting change in perception.

Much sweeter than anticipated, yet still refreshing and enjoyable.

Welcome to the weekend and we are going to Germany to get it started. Opening the 2012 Monchhof Robert Eymael Urzig Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese.
Upon opening the aromas are very pronounced and ripe with heavy notes of rubber tires, nectarine, apple, Pear, honeysuckle and a little pineapple.
With the first sip the nose is confirmed giving us rubber, petrol, nectarine, apricots, peach, apple, pineapple and honey.
The wine has medium + acidity with a full thick mouthfeel almost to the point of being syrupy. There is a definitive sweetness but not to the point of being overpowering. This is a well balanced riesling and enjoyable.
Please have an enjoyable weekend and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🖒

Pale gold in the glass. Minerally stone fruit nose. Red pome and white cherry on the medium rich palate framed with solid acidity and a slightly mineral finish. This is very good. Surprised it's not VDP.
