This is good right out of the bottle. Yes, its sweet, apple and pears, no tannins to speak of. Paired well with grilled pork chops and pan fried potatoes.

Very tasty Riesling! I could definitely taste the notes of flowery spices. My mom gave me this wine, but I would look for it in the store.

Don’t have the guts to buy 1.5 L of wine but as far as the big bottles go this actually isn’t terrible. Notes of pear and plastic on the nose. Tons of green apple, sweet up front & the back. Honestly tastes more like a hard cider but it’ll do if you’re told to bring wine to a get together with people you don’t like (& who don’t know a thing about wine).

Noticed hints of honey, pear, and slate, while drink it had a crisp mouth feel

Notes of currant, lemon peel. Upon further tasting and aeration, flavor improves significantly, apple notes
