Lovely, drink now thru 2020 dry Riesling. Sadly, the last vintage from dear old Franz Karl. The kids don't want to run the business so the vineyards were sold off. Wine estate in the family since 1549. The first wine family to register a TBA in the Rheinhessen in the early 1900s. Sad. This is not an isolated example.
