With an RS of 1.3, I would expect it to be a bit more off-dry, but it's very well balanced. Apple, pear aromas with a subtle petrol. Citrus and lime rinds on the finish.

Dry Riesling. Yet... Another upset :))) I even brought up Columbia V. but reconsidered it in favor of New Zealand (S.I.) or Austria.

Good wine just not for me, I prefer a little more sweeter wines.

Ben gave this to us at Christmas and we totally want to have it again! Sweet but not so sweet you can't drink it with dinner.

Beautiful balance of sweet and acid. Lots of Green apple, especially on the nose.

Sour green apple. Wasn't a fan at first, but it grew on me

Off dry Reisling with great fruit upfront. Green apple, along with some dryer fruit as well. Great for the money

Ripe green apple crispness and tart taste that minimizes the sweetness and builds over time, ultimately dominating the sipping experience, which I did not enjoy (as I prefer a sweeter Riesling). Had it served at room temperature, suspect it would have been better if served chilled.
