What to Expect

Few white wines have achieved the fame that Riesling has in Germany. Its ability to produce a wide range of styles, from bone dry to lusciously sweet, in an even wider range of climates has made it the grape of Germany. Riesling in Germany can range from the steely, piercing wines of the Saar to the round, opulent peachy wines one typically finds in the Nahe and the Pfaltz. Every region is capable of producing both dry and sweet versions though there is a movement towards drier wines that has taken hold throughout many regions.

Delicately sweet, buttery and smooth with nice blend of acidity. Minerally, hints of sweet red apple. Very delicious! Almost gulpable.

A fantastic wine. An off-dry nose with sweet earthy minerality. Its a low alcohol wine (8.5%) - fermentation is stopped early to give it some residual sweetness. But note that this is in no way cloying, its just off-dry, not sweet, and balanced by some good acidity. A nice finish, with good acidity again.

Served with spicy salt and pepper shrimp in a mango sauce. Given as a gift - fantastic! Didnt realize that it was a $40 bottle, but its a 4* nonetheless.
