Not terribly complex, but delicate and nicely balanced. Kumquats and wet stones.

This was a damn good wine that inspired a frustrated rant. If I had bought this in a shop, the alcohol (10%) would have told me it was dry. I bought it online, though, trusting I was getting the fruity sweet Riesling Kabinett I was shopping for. Putting Trocken on the label would have been nice.

Green apple and petrol. Excellent concentration and mineral zinginess.

Off dry, high acid. Delicious. Crushable.

Off-dry, without the sweetness being overbearing (I typically prefer drier styles). So many different aromas, but still very easy to drink.

Wine #2 on EVA airways flight to Taipei. Off dry Riesling with notes of clementine and honeysuckle. Medium bodied. I prefer dryer styles of Riesling.

Weightless & floral, with a mineral streak. Pure sipping pleasure.
