Good Riesling, refreshing, refined, a touch too sweet but would have again

Subtle and easy drinking, almost more reminiscent of sweetness than actually sweet at all.

Austere. Very light and lean. The color is just barely deeper than water - almost silvery. The flavors are similarly pale. Just the barest suggestion of citric fruit, a bit of lemon/lime. Relative to the way the pradikats are bottled these days, this tastes much more like a kabinett in terms of ripeness than a spatlese, even taking into account the feinherb designation. It has a mineral quality to it as well, more chalky or sandy than slate-like. The spritzig element adds some energy, but what I really want here is more body and flavor. AP Nr. 13
