Karthäuser Riesling

To be specific, this is the Laubenheimer Karthauser Riesling Trocken. Very exuberant nose. Loads of bright, ripe green apple fruit, a little fresh green herb (tarragon?), a yeasty note, and loads of slatey minerals. Very fruity on the palate, round textured, acids are quite soft. Not super complex but very fun.

These wines can age! 2011 🎉

Excellent earthy & mineral, white peach fruit. 91p

Zesty lime peel, spiced pear, and minerality. Vibrant tart green apples with limestone and sour lime punch with acidity driving the finish. Outstanding QPR.

A flowery Riesling, with renclode plums, ripe lemon and a flowery-peppery touch.
Nicely balanced, with juicy, ripe lemon type acidity. There is also some spicy richness. Quite nice and much better than the Königsschild.

Tesch does it different. Not the usual Riesling notes of citrus and green apples. This goes in the opposite direction. Big and bold notes of petroleum, honey and almonds. And heavy razor sharp acidity. This wine is not made to please everyone, despite being the entry level wine from this producer. If this is what you get for 16 Euro’s I can’t wait to try more from their selection

Very drinkable dry white

Mineral melon

Trocken, not stirred. Maybe we have been to harsh on German Rieslings. We'll have to try one again. Tomorrow works for us.

Stram! Ja!
