Vintage 2011 | Butter and honey in smell, vibrant taste. Quite high in alcohol, 13,5%, so for me it is a dinerwine. Paired with a Moroccan Tajine and couscous.

Aug 5th, 2021Vintage 2011 / wow, after cellaring, this #riesling has become beautiful! Honey and minerals in smell, splendid acidity and great balance. #rheingau Partnered it with vegetarian ‘meatballs’ from beetroot, quinoa, herbs and egg with tzatziki

Jul 17th, 2018Vintage 2011 / good concentration, crisp and powerfull, in my opinion more appropriate for diner than to drink on itself, promising for further development

That's just really good. What dry Riesling strives to be.

First Charta Riesling I have tried (and still the only one I have ever come across). Complex aromatics of white flowers, crushed stone, and red apple. Barely off dry with adequate acidity - this is designed as the perfect food wine. Very good at $19 (on sale).
11.5% abv - 9.8 g/l RS - 6.9 g/l acidity
More on Charta Riesling: An esteemed group of 30 top VDP growers in Rheingau who release this style of Riesling. Must meet the groups high standards to release in their inimitable bottles (heavy, dark hued glass ready for the cellar) with the embossed Romanic arches.

Not usually a Riesling drinker, but since it was on the dry side, we gave it a try. The nose was unlike anything I’ve ever smelled. Unripe papaya, lemon pith and citrus. Almond, honey and gravel. Crisp finish. Not as light as a sauv blanc and held it’s own with middle eastern food
