Restrained floral and apricot fruit, a surprising amount of slate. Just barely off dry, firm acidity. Great value for $12. Nice with sea cucumber & fish maw

A good white for a hot day. Not too sweet. Semi dry.

Nice with a strawberry salad. I'm more of a drier wine person but it went well, can't complain! (Can you tell I'm at a wine pairing)! ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿท

Very light lemon in color, almost see thru, with a light green hue.

Beautiful and fruity nose with lemons, citrus, apples, pears, sea salt, white pepper, tropical fruits, light peaches and minerals.

Medium bodied and crisp with medium plus acidity and light effervescent.

Dry to off dry on the palate, with lemons, citrus, green apples, melons, white pepper, minerals and sea salt.

Nice finish with tangy citrus and limes.

A very enjoyable Riesling from Pfalz, Germany.
Nicely balanced, but simple, with enough acidity for the residual sugar.

Enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine,and a good food wine to pair with Thai food or spicy Indian food. Refreshing when properly chilled, and great for lunch. I paired it with a wonderful Florida weather.

11% alcohol by volume.

Missing the hard edge of acidity but moderate RS went great with curry.

Checking in year & half later: very enjoyable and plenty of time left on this, has at least 5-10 more years

Had this several times over the years and believe it is a great value. Though not stated this closely resembles a Kabinett style - dry w/just a kiss of RS. This had gorgeous & delicate aromas of orchard fruit, cotton candy & minerals. Same on palate, quite generous, balanced acidity and that rounded off style you find in Pfalz leading to a clean finish. Fantastic QPR

Pale lemon in appearance. On the nose, aromas of green apple, lemon, bread, pear. Acidity is high, alcohol is medium, body is light, flavor intensity is pronounced with flavors that match the nose. Wine is off dry. Wine is very well balanced. Lacking in complexity. Length is okay. Overall a very good wine.
