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.
