Vintage 2009 - this is the basic cuvée 😳 Flowers, honey, hay, butter. Feinherb sweetness. Absolutely fine!

This wine reminds me of filling gas at a gas station in the South on a hot day and God stops by and says, "You're alive. Live."

Succulent, juicy, refreshing. Lemon/lime and tropical overtones throughout, backed by aloe and wet slate. Finish is cool, almost spicey, clean and mineral. Harmony of acid, sweetness, and extract. This packs a punch for the price.

A little bit on the sweet side, but still very enjoyable.

Excellent value, surprisingly complex for a basic cuvée. Petrol and hay and lovely.

Extreme peach, very ripe and plush body, off dry, plus acidity but relatively lower than other riesling. Maybe not enough acididy to match something like south east or Indian curry flavors

Fruitier than expected off the first mouthful but it seems to settle & the fruity edge softened. Very much enjoyed this with the full flavoured Asian cuisine..
