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.

Winemakers Notes

Aroma: Apricot, peach and grapefruit.

Taste: Apple and peach with intense mineral notes and an elegant and racy finish.

Name story: Palatina is named for the royal palace "Aula Palatina" built by Emperor Constantine who encouraged the vineyards in this area to flourish around 300 AD.

Vineyards and winemaking: From the renowned Scharzhofberger, Kaseler Herrenberg, and Piesporter GoldtrÃÂ¶pfchen vineyards. Low-yielding vines in slate soils on intensely sloped terrain. Native yeasts, slow stainless steel fermentation and gravity read more...

Superb. Not especially sweet, full of complex flavors - apricot, grapefruit, peach - and good acidity. -Playboy Magazine 3 out of 4 bunnies

Notable for its dry style and minerality. Shows apple, white peach and citrus notes, including a bit of rind finish. Good aperitif wine. -Wednesday Wine with Edward Deitch, MSNBC Today

The Red-
Grape

Tried this wine 5/18 in honor of Riesling Week. It had all of the flavors I was looking for-- white peach, grapefruit, citrusy vibrancy and none of the overwhelming sweetness. I would consider this a Kabinett or maybe Spatlese riesling made in a dry style, probably one of the nicest I've tried recently.

Light gold in the glass, this wine has a nose of wet slate and unripe pear aromas. In the mouth it is crisp and bright, with flavors of unripe pears, flowers, meyer lemon and hints of paraffin as the wine finishes. Dry, bright, and nicely balanced. -Alder Yarrow, Vinography 9 out of 10 points
