Between sweet and dry. Good balance with a tangy edge.

If it just rained on a bunch of rocks and slate, then you took some lemons, limes, and granny smith apples and crushed them along with their blossoms, that's what this wine smells and tastes like to me. Very dry to me for a feinherb. There's also some petrol-y stuff (think new garden hose) in there too for sure. Then again, I'm catching a cold. Didn't care for the wine at first, but it has grown on me as it warms up in the glass.

Off dry. Feinherb... delicious and delineated with stone fruits, tons of minerality and utterly fresh

Not many strong traditional characteristics stand out. Needs a little time to open up.

Tates like melted snow with alcohol. Delightful, bracing, and super pure. Good stuff in every way

Golden colored, confectionery sugar, cotton candy, peach, and some citrus like lime also slate & stone. Very engaging nose but not effusive. More austere flavors on mid palate, strong acidic backbone leading to bone dry finish.

Puolikuiva, hyvä Riesling. Sopii mm. savukalasalaatilla täytettyjen ruisnappien kanssa.
