Small amount of petrol in this nose.
Dry and sooo lovely and drinkable.
Peach pit, petrol laden medium bodied, great mouthfeel, and a crowd pleaser!

Very Mosel in style. Nose has pristine apple with a hint of barely ripe peach. Nice slatey minerality underneath. So pure smelling. Crisp and so balanced in the mouth, with fruit and cracked stones in equipoise. Dry and clean as a whistle on the finish. Nicely done.

Color of bubbly gold. Nose of gasoline, tropical fruits, ripe pineapple almost like pineapple jam, a bit nutty and crayon, some more gasoline, and a bit green apple. Nose is dense and fragrant. Taste follows the nose with addition of tinkling zest, nice long sweet and sour citrus, buttery feeling, some more pineapple. Taste is clean and refined. Aftertaste shows some more warmth. A little bit too light overall.

Another solid vintage of this consistent FLX Riesling. Minerals, chalk and just a touch of petrol on the nose. Granny Smith apple and a touch of peach (along with those stony mineral notes) on the pallet. Crisp with mouth watering acidity. Very “Mosel-like.” Never disappoints.

My first Riesling from the Finger Lakes. Lemon, grapefruit, and green apple. Slate and minerals on the finish. High acid and very dry. Looking forward to trying more wines from this region.
