The 2015 Winnings Riesling shows a golden tint in the glass and a nose worth inhaling for. It's austere, with huge slate notes backed by hints of petrol that are starting to show and a whiff of citrus zest to finish off the scent. The palate is smart and savory, with a sedate acidity softened by the almost creamy mouthfeel. The finish stays long and leaves tangerine notes to remind the sipper of the pleasure.

Pool toy, melon, lemon. Apricot and wet rocks. Crisp mouthfeel with sharp acid to offset residual sugar. Off-dry with fairly complex finish.

Von Winning Winnings Riesling 2015: Fresh bright acidity. Green apple. Lemon. Stone fruit. Chalk. Off-dry with a touch of sweetness. An extremely versatile & fragrant German wine (+ a really cool label)! Cheers🍷

2015. Pulled this out to pair with some Thai food and loved it. I had forgot I was able to get this bottle for under $13. Incredible QPR.

Green apple warheads that glitter with acidity across your tongue, but I promise it’s good. Green apple, honeysuckle and chalk. As others reviewed, “expertly balanced” sweetness and acidity. This wine is a joy to drink and is a good example for dry wine only snobs that sweeter wines can be excellent.
